See that boy walking down the street
Thinks he's tough but he smiles so sweet
Snakeskin boots and a baseball cap
Bet you'd like to meet a boy like that

He's a little crazy he's a little loud
He loves to do what ain't allowed
And he might talk too slow and drive too fast
But he'd do any little thing I ask cause

That's my baby
That's my baby
That's my diamond in the rough
But I can make him shine with my sweet love
That's my baby

He's a rebel wild and free
My mama says he ain't right for me
Daddy prays he's just a phase I'm going through
But one of these days their gonna love him too 'cause

That's my baby
That's my baby
That's my diamond in the rough
But I can make him shine with my sweet love
That's my baby

He ain't no angel he ain't no saint
But I don't worry 'bout what he ain't
'Cause what he is, is something fine
And he lets me know that he's mine all mine

That's my baby
That's my baby
That's my diamond in the rough
But I can make him shine with my sweet love
That's my baby
