String Of Pearls Lyrics - Singles - Jimmy's Chicken Shack

She want a string of pearls 

All I got her was a necklace 

Made of flowers from the trash can 

She wanna make me pay for it 

Yeah while I'm at I t guess I'll take another bath man 

And the records out 

Holding steady gaining on last place 

And in a moment's notice 

We'll be ready for the next new phase 

Another stupid craze 

She want a 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 face 

It might be hard to sell 

Still never giving in 

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 heart in 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 it cost as much as all the other ones 

So much more... 

She want a string of pearls 

All I got her was a necklace 

Made of flowers from the trash can 

She wanna make me pay for it 

Yeah 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 moments notice 

We'll be ready for her next new face 

So I state my case 

Would you want a string of pearls 

'Cause all I got you was a necklace 

Made of flowers from a trash can 

And she want a string of pearls 

Ain't that enough, ma'am? 

I think it's worth so much more
