She wanna 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
And the record's out
Holdin' steady gaining on last place
And in a moment's notice
We'll be ready for the next new phase
Another stupid craze
She wanna 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 phase
It might be hard to sell
Still never in giving
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-hearten 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 cost as much as all the other ones
So much more...
She wanna string of pearls
All I got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She wanna make me pay for it
And 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 moment's notice
We'll be ready for her next new phase
So I state my case
Would you want a string of pearls
'Cause all I got you was a necklace
Made of flowers, made of flowers from a trash can
And she wanna string of pearls
Ain't that enough, ma'am?
I think it's worth so much more
