I was driving home this afternoon and this song came on the radio.

For some reason the lyrics made me think of DnD.
So I want to see what sort of character all you clever people can create using those lyrics for inspiration.

Let's analyze the lyrics shall we?
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
Clearly she has a high Int stat.
I want a girl who knows what's best
High Wis.
I want a girl with shoes that cut
Exotic weapon proficiency…
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
Darkvision, of course.
I want a girl with the right allocations
High Cha.
Who's fast and thorough
High Dex.
And sharp as a tack
High Int.
She's playing with her jewelery
Quite rich..
She's putting up her hair
Clearly a combat class.
She's touring the facility
High search skill.
And picking up slack
Fast movement speed.
I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooong jacket
Clearly she wears light armor…
I want a girl who gets up early
Some sort of tempered bodily features.
I want a girl who stays up late
Meditating maybe?
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Again, rich.
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
Ah, so we know she has proficiency with a machete.
With fingernails that shine like justice
Seems like a LG aligned character to me.
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
Clearly experienced and worldly.
She is fast and thorough
High Dex.
And sharp as a tack
High Int.
She's touring the facility
High search skill.
And picking up slack
Fast movement speed.
I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooong jacket
Clearly she wears light armor…
So…Lawful Good Monk, high Dex, Int, and Wis. Rich character backstory. Wears light armor and has exotic weapon proficiency with the machete. Glowing eyes indicate a race with Darkvision, possibly a dwarf.
There you go.

Sounds good Soarel.
My personal interpretation:
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I was thinking Psionics or Martial Manoeuvre (I don't have ToB but I think I've seen one called something like Diamond Mind)
I want a girl who knows what's best
Psionic Divination(?) or manoeuvres that give extra actions
I want a girl with shoes that cut
Not sure about this one
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
Gaze Attack
I want a girl with the right allocations
Made me think of feats/skills.
Who's fast and thorough
I agree with the high Dex,
And sharp as a tack
And the Int.
She's playing with her jewelery
Either RP'd as anxious or she has a Necklace of Fireballs
She's putting up her hair
Not sure
She's touring the facility
Agree with the high search
And picking up slack
Rather than speed, I thought high Strength or Con
I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooong jacket
Light armour.
I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
Elf Trance maybe
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Rather than rich, talented or famous?
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
Yes to Machete Proficiency.
With fingernails that shine like justice
This made me think of a Paladin. However I might be mixing Psionics and ToB already so I should avoid another class. Possibly Crusader?
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
Dark made me think of evil. So a troubled Lawful Good half fiend elf?
She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooong jacket
As above
So I got a LG Half-fiend Elf Crusader. Feats allocated towards improving Machete. Some sort of Gaze attack from template. She is a renowned hero, anxious about her dark heritage turning her into a monster.

If she's got Diamond Mind, shouldn't she be a Swordsage rather than a Monk?

Using a machete to cut through red tape suggests a severe impatience with bureaucracy and procedure. So probably more likely NG/CG than Lawful.

CG elven factotum // swordsage with machetes and boot blades as weapons.

Assuming D&D/Pathfinder:
The eyes could also be toned down to just imply sharper vision - low light would work. Meanwhile, elves trance instead of sleeping, and only half as much, allowing for waking up early and staying up late. I'm going elf here.
Outside of that, I could see some sort of noir character working really nicely. A very intelligent person employed deep in a bureaucracy with a side job of helping private eyes deal with them fits.

Or Swashbuckler/Duelist or Magus if Pathfinder.

High Int/Dex, sees in the dark,
Stylish,
I think we've got a Drow on our hands. Probably a Sword Sage mixed with Beguiler.
Not lawful either.

I'm gonna go LG here, darkvision or low light vision.
I'm thinking a Machete is just a short sword for our purposes, and the shoes thing is that boot blade weapon form complete scoundrel.
Class: Swordsage, race, Grey elf (or elf in pathfinder.).
Cutting through red tape: She's obviously prone to going after LE or problematic LN types within the system. Or it's literal and she knows the mountain hammer maneuver on top of her diamond mind maneuvers.
Diamond Mind also has a couple of tricks for high movement speed, though if she's rich she might also have a continuous item of haste.
Further, Swordsage offers light armor proficiency and bonuses while wearing it.
Obviously she's sporting high int and cha, and high wis and dex. Probably has weapons Finesse, Shadow Blade Strike, and maybe a dip into Shiba Protector and an apprentice feat to get her search as a class skill to max.
Maybe has the hidden talent feat to give her a Psionic Power or two for some form of divination.
