Chorus

 All 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 chande-liers

I never did, fit in too well with folks you knew

 And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you

 So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do

 And you turned a way from the love I offered you

 All 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 chande-liers

I never did, fit in too well with folks you knew

 And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you

 So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do

 And you turned a way from the love I offered you

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 last awhile

 Then it fades away

 And the love we knew will come home to you some day
