LYRICS

Drawn like a moth to a flame I've been comsumed by the fire I've only got myself to blame I soulda known better Than givin to desire And with an arrow through my heart I watch your image fall apart True colors bliding me I don't like what I see You know you got a bad attitude I wanna love you but you're dumb animal Raw like diamond in the rough I think you're pretty but you're too tough You see the glass half empty I see the glasse half filled You try to tell me it's alright You say you're gonna change you're ways OOh baby you know you never will You know you got a bad attitude I wanna love you but you're dumb animal Raw like diamond in the rough I think you're pretty but you're too tough I don't need your bad attitude It's hard to love you when you're too wild animal Raw like the diamond in the rough I've had my fill babe enough is enough And with an arrow through my heart I watch your image fall apart True colors bliding me I'm not impressed with what I see You know you got a bad attitude I wanna love you but you're dumb animal Raw like diamond in the rough I think you're pretty but you're too tough Get out of here with you bad attitude I wanna love you but you're too wild animal Raw you're like a diamond in the rough You could be pretty but you're too tough I don't need, bad attitude I wanna love you, I wanna love you Raw like a diamond in the rough I've had my fill babe enough is enough
