You should not wear dark glasses- they cloud your eyes,
Your wardrobe is so classic- time stands still inside,
The science of your bedroom is turning me blind,
The roses in your garden are walls to hide behind
La la la etc.
Draw those expensive curtains,
Sleep softly, softly, I'll be near,
The clink of crystal glasses,
The sparkle of a chandelier,
Just try not to be flattered,
Or strike a victim's pose,
To sully my view of those exquisite sash (sash) windows!
La la la etc.
(Solo)
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
I want...
Tell me what you want
I want...
Tell me what you really want...
An emblem, an emblem!
Tell me what you really want...
Cavalry twill!
Tell me what you really want...
A grandfather clock!
Tell me what you really want...
Grandfather twill!
You fly to buy your Wedgewood- God I would too.
Venetian green-stemmed heaven was made for me and not you!
Recline on velvet chaise-longue, I bet you purr,
Venus on high above you- I doubt you even notice her!
La la la etc.
