Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
And 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
And it's plain to see that the likes of me didn't fit with you
So you traded me for the gaiety of the well-to-do
And you turned away from the love I offered you

Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
And the marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall
Will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud
Help you dry your tears
When the new wears off of you crystal chandeliers

I see your picture in the news most every day
You're the chosen girl of the social world or 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 someday

Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
And the marble statuettes are standing stately
in the hall
Will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud
Help you dry your tears
When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers

When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers
