Rosie never was one for turning heads

She was just always kinda there

She had a few nice features more or less

No red ribbons in her hair



Since that jessie's been coming to the diner

Folks are saying that she's never looked finer

She's got a different air



She's taken a shine to him

Becoming the woman that she's never been

And all of guys are wishin' they hadn't been so blind

She's taken a shine to life

Now's there a sparkle in her eye

They all missed a gem - a diamond within

She's taken a shine



Rosie hardly messed a bit of work

Never took vacation days

Home, or the diner, it was all the same to her

She didn't know any other way



But each afternoon now she starts to come alive

'cause jessie's there each day to pick her up at five

You ought to hear them say



She's taken a shine to him

Becoming the woman that she's never been

And all of guys are wishin' they hadn't been so blind

She's taken a shine to life

Now's there a sparkle in her eye

They all missed a gem - a diamond within

She's taken a shine



Oh, what a little love can do

Now that she's found herself

She's stromger than she ever knew



She's taken a shine to him

Becoming the woman that she's never been

And all of guys are wishin' they hadn't been so blind

She's taken a shine to life

Now's there a sparkle in her eye

They all missed a gem - a diamond within

She's taken a shine
