Harder Than Diamond Lyrics - Chubby Checker

You can take what you want forever, 

And then throw it all away, 

But the heart that you left behind you 

Still haunts you 'til this day 

In the time that it takes to feel it, 

Your new, familiar dreams, 

But it's the one that keeps you up at night, 

Makes you wonder what it means 

Harder than diamond 

Cutting like a knife 

Bars on the windows 

Shadows on the mind 

As you walk through the hall of mirrors, 

Your feet above the ground, 

You see somebody, they start to laugh, 

But you never hear the sound 

Now you know that you're only dreaming, 

But still you have to steel, 

You won't wake up tomorrow 

As you watch yourself disappear 

Harder than diamond 

Cutting like a knife 

Bars on the windows 

Shadows on the mind 

Shadows on the mind 

Harder than diamond 

Cutting like a knife 

Bars on the windows 

Shadows on the mind 

Harder than diamond 

Cutting like a knife 

Bars on the windows 

Harder than diamond (x3)
