OH WHAT THE HELL SHE SAID
I JUST CAN'T WIN FOR LOSING
AND SHE LAYS BACK DOWN
MAN THERE'S SO MANY TIMES
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOIN
LIKE I DON'T KNOW NOW
BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
SHE RUBS HER EYES
SAYS IT'S FUNNY HOW THE NIGHT
CAN MAKE YOU BLIND
I CAN JUST IMAGINE
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO
BUT IF SHE FEELS BAD THEN I DO TOO
SO I LET HER BE
AND SHE SAYS OOOH
I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
HER TEARS LIKE DIAMONDS ON THE FLOOR
AND HER DIAMONDS BRING ME DOWN
CUZ I CAN'T HELP HER NOW
SHE'S DOWN IN IT
SHE TRIED HER BEST BUT NOW SHE'S DOWN IN IT'S
HARD TO SEE THEM ON THE GROUND
HER DIAMONDS FALLING DOWN
SHE SITS DOWN AND STARES INTO THE DISTANCE
AND IT TAKES ALL NIGHT
AND I KNOW I COULD BREAK HER CONCENTRATION
BUT IT DON'T FEEL RIGHT
BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
SHE RUBS HER EYES
SITS DOWN ON THE BED AND STARTS TO CRY
AND THERE'S SOMETHING LESS ABOUT HER
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO
SO I SIT DOWN AND I CRY TOO
AND DON'T LET HER SEE
AND SHE SAYS OOOH
I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
HER TEARS LIKE DIAMONDS ON THE FLOOR
AND HER DIAMONDS BRING ME DOWN
CUZ I CAN'T HELP HER NOW
SHE'S DOWN IN IT
SHE TRIED HER BEST BUT NOW SHE'S DOWN IN IT'S
HARD TO SEE THEM ON THE GROUND
HER DIAMONDS FALLING DOWN
SHE SHUTS OUT THE NIGHT
TRIES TO CLOSE HER EYES
IF SHE CAN FIND DAYLIGHT
SHE'LL BE ALRIGHT
SHE'LL BE ALRIGHT
JUST NOT TONIGHT
AND SHE SAYS OOOH
I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
HER TEARS LIKE DIAMONDS ON THE FLOOR
AND HER DIAMONDS BRING ME DOWN
CUZ I CAN'T HELP HER NOW
SHE'S DOWN IN IT
SHE TRIED HER BEST BUT NOW SHE'S DOWN IN IT'S
HARD TO SEE THEM ON THE GROUND
HER DIAMONDS FALLING DOWN
I JUST CAN'T WIN FOR LOSING
AND SHE LAYS BACK DOWN
MAN THERE'S SO MANY TIMES

Robert Kelly Thomas (born February 14, 1972, in Landstuhl, Germany on a US military base) is an American rock recording artist, and songwriter. He is the primary songwriter and lead singer of the band Matchbox Twenty and formerly of the band Tabitha’s Secret. Thomas also records and performs as a solo artist. Thomas earned three Grammy awards for co-writing and singing on the Carlos Santana triple-platinum hit “Smooth” on the album Supernatural in 1999.
He has also lent his songwriting talents to such artists as Willie Nelson, Mick Jagger, Marc Anthony, Pat Green, Taylor Hicks, Travis Tritt and Daughtry.
Since 1996, his band, Matchbox Twenty, has released a string of hit singles to radio including “Push”, “3 A.M.”, “Real World”, “Back 2 Good”, “Bent”, “If You’re Gone”, “Mad Season”, “Disease”, “Unwell”, “Bright Lights”, and “How Far We’ve Come”. In 2004, the Songwriters Hall of Fame awarded Thomas its first Starlight Award, recognizing young songwriters who have already made a lasting impact in the music industry.
Solo career
On April 19, 2005, after nearly 10 years with Matchbox Twenty, Thomas began his solo career with the release of …Something to Be which shot to #1 on the album chart. This marked the first time a male artist from a rock and/or pop group had debuted at number one with his first solo album since the Billboard Top 200 was introduced 50 years ago. His first single off this album, “Lonely No More”, reached number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The single debuted in the Top 10 of the Australian ARIAnet singles chart on the week of April 4, 2005. The second single, “This Is How a Heart Breaks”, (used during a majority of telecasts for ABS’s coverage of the NBA Playoffs), was not as successful, but the third single, “Ever The Same”, went gold and became a top-five Adult Contemporary hit.
As a solo act, Thomas made several significant appearances. On July 2, 2005, Thomas appeared at the Live 8 concert in Philadelphia. As a solo act, Thomas appeared on the September 10, 2005, ‘MTV Katrina Relief Concert’. On October 5, 2005, he started his first solo tour. In the summer of 2006, Thomas toured with Jewel and Toby Lightman.
In September 2006, Thomas’ solo effort received more exposure when ABC started using the song “Streetcorner Symphony” in promotional ads for its popular Thursday night lineup. This song was subsequently released as a single. Thomas also received attention for a Pre-Grammy performance of “Harder to Breathe” with Maroon 5.
In January 2007, Thomas released a single entitled “Little Wonders” from the soundtrack to the Disney animated feature, Meet the Robinsons. As of April 22, 2007, “Little Wonders” has reached #5 on the Mediabase Hot Adult Contemporary chart. Thomas was featured on the June 14, 2007, episode of the long-running PBS series Soundstage.He is expected to release his second studio album sometime in 2008.
In 2007, Thomas and his recently reunited band Matchbox Twenty released another album entitled Exile on Mainstream.
According to Billboard Magazine, Thomas’ second studio album will be released in early 2009. It is tentatively titled “Cradle Songs”.
