I see your picture in the news most every day You're the chosen girl of the social world, so the stories say Bu, t a paper smile only lasts a while then it fades away And the love we knew will come home to you someday Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your walls 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? When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers?
