A String of Pearls - Remastered 2001

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
