[Intro: Diamond Tiara]
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be

[Verse 1: Diamond Tiara]
If I'm a diamond, then why do I feel so rough?
I'm as strong as a stone, even that's not enough
There's something jagged in me, and I've made such mistakes
I thought that diamonds were hard, though I feel I could break

[Chorus: Diamond Tiara]
Would you believe
That I've always wished I could be somepony else?
Yet I can't see
What I need to do to be the pony I want to be

[Post-Chorus: Diamond Tiara]
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
[Verse 2: Diamond Tiara]
I've been told my whole life what to do, what to say
Nopony showed me that there might be some better way
And now I feel like I'm lost, I don't know what to do
The ground is sinking away, I'm about to fall through

[Chorus: Diamond Tiara]
Would you believe
That I've always wished I could be somepony else?
Yet I can't see
What I need to do to be the pony I want to be

[Post-Chorus: Diamond Tiara]
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
To be the pony I want to be

[Drop: Sawtooth Waves & Diamond Tiara]
To be the pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
To be the pony I want to be
[Outro: Diamond Tiara]
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
The pony I want to be
To be the pony I want to be
