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 jessies been coming to the diner
Folks are saying that shes never looked finer
Shes got a different air

Shes taken a shine to him
Becoming the woman that shes never been
And all of guys are wishin they hadnt been so blind
Shes taken a shine to life
Nows there a sparkle in her eye
They all missed a gem - a diamond within
Shes 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 didnt know any other way

But each afternoon now she starts to come alive
cause jessies there each day to pick her up at five
You ought to hear them say

Shes taken a shine to him
Becoming the woman that shes never been
And all of guys are wishin they hadnt been so blind
Shes taken a shine to life
Nows there a sparkle in her eye
They all missed a gem - a diamond within
Shes taken a shine

Oh, what a little love can do
Now that shes found herself
Shes stromger than she ever knew

Shes taken a shine to him
Becoming the woman that shes never been
And all of guys are wishin they hadnt been so blind
Shes taken a shine to life
Nows there a sparkle in her eye
They all missed a gem - a diamond within
Shes taken a shine
