Country Pride - Buck 22

You want her attention Well you'll have to wait She's in the gymnasium Reducing weight In shorts of a leotard Despite her age The girl's gonna exercise Your life away Sister don't you jog it all away Sister don't you run it all off Sister don't you jog it all away Sister don't you rough it all up What an idea of fun To get it on the run I don't know why you do What has come over you? The style in the discotheque Is cheap and nice Please tell Ms Fonda To reduce her price Anorexia nervosa mannequin All this physicality Will wear you thin Hey Olivia Newton-John What you say? Hey Olivia Newton-John What you say? She used to yield like flesh Now it's all muscle She used to yield like flesh Now it's all muscle I don't know why you do What has come over you What an idea of fun To get it on the run Rollerskates and vitamins and diet plans Academic discipline will ruin your hands We used to ride tandem and have lots of fun But bicycles for exercise are made for one

Now and then an old friend tries to help me By telling me there's someone I should meet But I don't have the heart to start all over 'Cause my heart is laying at another's feet You just don't put new patches on old garments I don't want no one else on my mind I just don't need nobody new to cling to I still love someone I've known a long long time I have built my world around a memory And she's the only one that I let in Every time I've tried to love somebody In my mind I'm loving her again I still love someone I've known a long long time

Oh, the crystal chandeliers Light up the paintings on your walls 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? Never did fit in too well with the folks you knew When 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 away from the love I offered you Oh, 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 chandeliers? 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 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 walls 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? When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers?
