Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on the wall The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help dry your tears When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers I never did fit in too well with the folks you knew And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you For 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 the paintings on the wall The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help dry your tears When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers I see your picture in the paper all most every day Why? You're the chosen girl of the social world so all the stories say But you know a paper smile only lasts a while and then it just fades away And the love we knew will come home to you some day Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on the wall The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help dry your tears When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers
