OH, THE CRYSTAL CHANDELIERS LIGHT UP THE PAINTINGS ON YOUR WALL'S
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 NEVER DID FIT IN TO WELL WITH THE FOLKS YOU KNEW
AND ITS PLAIN TO SEE THAT THE LIKES OF ME DON'T FIT WITH YOU
SO YOU TRADED ME FOR THE GAIETY OF WELL TO DO
AND YOU TURNED AWAY FROM THE LOVE I OFFERED YOU
==REPEAT CHORUS==
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
==REPEAT CHORUS==
