She want a string of pearls
All I got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She wanna make me pay for it
Yeah while I`m at I t guess I`ll take another bath man
And the records out
Holding steady gaining on last place
And in a moment`s notice
We`ll be ready for the next new phase
Another stupid craze
She want a string of pearls
All I got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She`s gonna make me pay for it
I start to sing and cry and then it makes me laugh man
Yeah we`ve all got doubts
Might not be winning but still in the race
And in a moment`s notice
We`ll be ready for her next new face
It might be hard to sell
Still never giving in
Have I given...so deep...oh..well
Will you give it all to me when you`re dead
You can keep the scent on my pillow
To settle your broken heart in head
Will you think of me when you die
Holding steady
Moment`s notice
Again she left with my heart in hand
She says she hates me
Yeah she`s lied before
Again it`s time to play me
Yeah it just adds up
That same sad melodic score
I wrote another one
Does this one count
And did it cost as much as all the other ones
So much more...
She want a string of pearls
All I got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She wanna make me pay for it
Yeah while I`m at it guess I`ll take another bath man
Yeah the record`s out
Holding steady gaining on last place
And in a moments notice
We`ll be ready for her next new face
So I state my case
Would you want a string of pearls
`Cause all I got you was a necklace
Made of flowers from a trash can
And she want a string of pearls
Ain`t that enough, ma`am?
I think it`s worth so much more
