If you had the real thing how would you tell   Liars can say it all just as well   Every single word you've heard in vain   Baubles of gold, stars in your hair   Reflections that told that they were not there   And the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames   And up in the air they would write your name there   But love would fall to pieces in the rain   Who would know better than you   A hundred love letters and none of them true      Christina, christina      It's a wondrous world of ridiculous things   With nothing so rare as the love that it brings   In the silence of a smile that understands   A piece of the action, pieces of gold   Everyone's paid well and does what they're told   For the simple daughter of a simple man   And up in the air they would write your name there   Their love will fall to pieces in the rain   Who would know better than you   A hundred love letters and none of them true      Christina, christina   Christina, christina
