String Of Pearls - Jimmie's Chicken Shack
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 And the record's 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
