She may look as if butter won't melt in her mouth
But the first glance may sometimes be a blur
I promise you, one day she will head South
And you'll wonder why you didn't stop her
You know appearances are deceptive
You wouldn't judge a book by its cover
So have a closer look, in perspective
Give her another chance to uncover
Her opening night
Won't be love at first sight
She will aim and miss
In the preliminaries
The premiere fails
And the reviewers bewail
There'll be no encore
'Cause you're not begging for more
She may seem self-righteous and holier-than-thou
She may sound like she has all the answers
But beyond she may feel just a bit anyhow
She may be an insecure ropedancer
All you'll end up with are trifling ephemeras
If you keep giving up at the frist go
So don't you concede so easily and bypass
The obstacles covering the grace below
Her opening night
Won't be love at first sight
She will aim and miss
In the preliminaries
The premiere fails
And the reviewers bewail
There'll be no encore
'Cause you're not begging for more
But the first impression doesn't say enough
She's a diamond, a diamond in the rough
All you'll end up with are trifling ephemeras
If you keep giving up at the frist go
So don't you concede so easily and bypass
The obstacles covering the grace below
Her opening night
Won't be love at first sight
She will aim and miss
In the preliminaries
The premiere fails
And the reviewers bewail
There'll be no encore
'Cause you're not begging for more
Her opening night
Won't be love at first sight
She will aim and miss
In the preliminaries
The premiere fails
And the reviewers bewail
There'll be no encore
'Cause you're not begging for more
There will be no encore
'Cause you're not begging for more
She's a diamond in the rough
