I don't want your lonely mansion with a chill in every room I just want the love you promised beneath a haloed moon But you think I should be happy with your money and your name And pretend that I don't notice while you play your cheating game Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine And I'll never drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine ♪ I grew up in faded gingham where love is a sacred thing You grew up in silk and satin where love's a passing game I know now you never loved me and I know I was a fool To think your pride would let me live by the golden rule Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine And I'll never drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
