Simple Economics

The volunteers were tired
 Heads were hanging low
 The news had spoiled their appetite
 For stuffing envelopes
 Twelve points was an awful lot to be down in the polls
 With only two weeks to go
 Shouldering the phone
 Loosening his tie
 His running mate on pricks and pins
 Hovering beside
 The candidate wrote furiously as if to save his life
 Then hung up the phone and spoke with great conviction
 When you're nothing but a boyfriend
 Dangling by a thread
 Keep in mind the bottom line
 Diamonds are a girls best friend
 ♪
 Inches from the goal
 One thing on his mind
 To get behind her desk and make
 Some big decisions
 Power can be such a tease, you're always wanting more
 It's good to know that just like sex it can be paid for
 When you're nothing but a boyfriend
 Dangling by a thread
 Keep in mind the bottom line
