Oh what the hell she says I just can't win for losing And she lays back down Man there's so many times I don't know what I'm doin' Like I don't know now By the light of the moon She rubs her eyes Says it's funny how the night Can make you blind I can just imagine And I don't know what I'm supposed to do But if she feels bad then I do too So I let her be [Chorus] And she says, oh I can't take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down 'Cause I can't help her now She's down in it She tried her best and now she can't win It's hard to see them on the ground Her diamonds falling down Way down Well she sits down and stares into the distance And it takes all night And I know I could break her concentration But it don't feel right By the light of the moon She rubs her eyes Sits down on the bed and starts to cry And there's something less about her And I don't know what I'm supposed to do So I sit down and I cry too But don't let her see [Chorus] She shuts out the night Tries to close her eyes If she can find daylight She'll be alright She'll be alright Just not tonight And she says, oh I can't take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down 'Cause I can't help her now She's down in it She tried her best and now she can't win it Hard to see them on the ground Her diamonds falling [Chorus] (I can't take no more) (Diamonds on the floor) (No more) no more (No more) Diamonds falling down (I can't take no more) (Diamonds on the floor) (No more, no more, no more, no more) Diamonds falling down, yeah (I can't take no more) (Diamonds on the floor) (No, no, no, no) Oh diamonds fall, and oh her diamonds Diamonds falling down I can't take these diamonds falling down
