Oh, the crystal chandeliers
Light up the paintings on your walls
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the 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?
Never did fit in too well with the folks you knew
When it's plain to see that the likes of me
Don't fit with you
So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do
And you turned away from the love I offered you
Oh, the crystal chandeliers
Light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the 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 see your picture in the news most every day
You're the chosen girl of the social world
So the stories say
But a paper smile only lasts a while
Then it fades away
And the love we knew will come home to you someday
Oh, the crystal chandeliers
Light up the paintings on your walls
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the 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?
When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers?
