She wanna 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 phase
It might be hard to sell still never in giving
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-hearten 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 cost as much as all the other ones
So much more, so much more, so much more, so much more

She wanna string of pearls, all I got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She wanna make me pay for it
And 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 moment's notice
We'll be ready for her next new phase
So I state my case

Would you want a string of pearls?
Would you want a string of pearls?
Would you want a string of pearls?
'Cause all I got you was a necklace
Made of flowers, made of flowers from a trash can

And she wanna string of pearls
Ain't that enough, ma'am?
And she wanna string of pearls
I think it's worth so much more

And she wanna string of pearls
I think it's worth so much more
And she wanna string of pearls
