Diamond Girl

(album: Ryan Leslie - 2009)

Yeah, they tried to put me in a box
It's impossible
R-Les
(Oh yeah)
And this time it's all or nothing
(Set it real, oh yeah)
Listen

I'ma take you 10 rounds like a boxer baby
Show you how I put down with rocks, my lady
Promise you asking when I'm done for more
I'ma switch it up and make life comfortable

I'ma be the reason you're not sleeping baby
I'ma invade the thoughts you keeping maybe
If you're still not convinced, I'll tell you more
Make you forget the way you felt before
(Oh, oh)

I can be ya wake up reason daily
You can be my first and leading lady
I'ma make you happy that you waited
For me to settle down
(Oh, oh)

I'm ready and I'm not afraid to say it
I'm tired of the game, already played it
I'm over all 'em other girls I dated
I tell you what you are

You're my diamond girl
You're the one I put the rock on
You're my diamond girl
You're the one that I quit the game for

You're my diamond girl
You're the one I put the rock on
You're my diamond girl
You're the reason I quit the game for

Can't explain just how much you shine
Give me your heart, I'll give you mine
I'm putting my future on the line
Baby it's just you and I

From this day on let's make a deal
I'll stay true, you keep it real
Don't be shy 'bout how you feel
Baby don't be shy, hey
(Oh, oh)

I can be ya wake up reason daily
You can be my first and leading lady
I'ma make you happy that you waited
For me to settle down
(Oh, oh)

I'm ready and I'm not afraid to say it
I'm tired of the game, already played it
I'm over all 'em other girls I dated
I tell you what you are

You're my diamond girl
You're the one I put the rock on
You're my diamond girl
You're the one that I quit the game for

You're my diamond girl
You're the one I put the rock on
You're my diamond girl
You're the reason I quit the game for

I roll with a better view, suit with a weatherproof
Burberry overcoat, new money attitude
A playboy you would know if you read the news
I could be with any other fine girl instead of you

Night life, city light, ride roof back
She's quite pretty nice, I'll choose that
I'll be your publisher, you could be my centerfold
Long as you do me right, show me how I'm edible

And I'm a lead man, you could be my co-star
You been acting like your mind's right so far
And you the type that enjoy the best
The 4 star suites, ice, big toys and jets for real

Let me show you how its' supposed to feel
Mommy take them shoes off, lets close the deal
'Cause sunny you reached the top, stop social climbing
If my record don't sell we'll still go diamond

You're my diamond girl
You're the one I put the rock on
You're my diamond girl
You're the one that I quit the game for

You're my diamond girl
You're the one I put the rock on
You're my diamond girl
You're the reason I quit the game for, hey

Yeah
(You're my diamond girl)
I know you want hear that again
(Yeah)
Run the record back
(You're my diamond)

R-Les, yeah
(Oh, baby)
Just rock with it
(You're my diamond)
It's next selection
(You're my diamond girl)
