She Wanted Furs (Live)

He gave emotion

She wanted furs

He gave devotion

She wanted the furs

She told him, "Love and kissing

Well baby, they leave something missing"

He gave her furs

He gave affection

Well, she wanted pearls

Not just rejection

Of all his other girls

She said, "Though arms enfold me

They cannot hold me"

He gave her pearls

And then a house in the country

A maid, a car, and more and more and more

Well, she was really good at living

Always taking, never giving

Till he asked himself

What for?

Now furs embrace her

Instead of arms

Those pearls that face her

Reflect no charms

While other wives are busy

She cries, "Where is he?"

The tea is bitter in her cup

The man that loved her, really loved her

He gave her up
