Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes are standing stately in you hall
But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help you dry your tears
When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers
I never did fit in too well with folks you knew
It was plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you
Cause you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do
And turned away from the love I offered you
Oh the crystal chandeliers...
I see your picture in the papers most every day
You're the chosen girl of the social world so the stories say
Oh but a paper smile only lasts a while then it fades away
And the love we knew will come back to you some day
Oh the crystal chandeliers...
(Crystal chandeliers crystal chandeliers)
