(lari white/chuck cannon)



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
