“I’m calm, cool, collected. Keeping my heart locked up, protected. Now all your begging and pleading is bouncing back to you. An echo in the cold hard truth. You’re just the boy who cries love. You’re just the boy who cries love. Well, I hope you have fun. ‘Cause baby, you were careless with my heart. Said forever then you let it fall apart. You left me crying there on the floor, walked out the door, like it was nothing. Yeah, baby, you were reckless with my love. I gave you all I’ve got, you just gave it up. So it don’t matter how much you’ve changed or the look on your face when you say you want me, you miss me tonight. Yeah, baby, I could care less. Yeah, baby, I could care less. You’re just the boy who cries love.”

“Oh what I thought I wanted let me down, but who’s laughing now. Keep the house, keep the truck. Go downtown, get too drunk. Kiss a one-night stand with a butterfly on her back. Take the bed where you used to lie. Keep the friends I never liked and the happy ever after welcome mat. You ain’t gonna get this diamond back. No never ever getting this diamond back. It’s in a pawn shop next to the laundromat. You ain’t gonna get this diamond back.”

“Ooh, I miss you, baby. Ooh, I’m going crazy. There’s a diamond sky that’s waiting us just outside of town with the moon hanging for me and you, baby. We can cut the headlights out when there ain’t no one else around. Kill the space in between, slide across that leather seat. Heart to heart, face to face, you know all I wanna do is get closer, closer, closer to you. Closer to you. Closer, closer, closer to you. Closer to you.”
