Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall   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 too well with folks you knew   It was plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you   Cause you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do   And turned away from the love I offered you      Oh the crystal chandeliers light up...      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 some day      Oh the crystal chandeliers light up...   When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers
