lyrics

I bought my woman a diamond ring
Cause she got an appetite for fine and fancy things
And I want her to be happy.
Perfume romances, and some ball-room dancing
And all her possessions stamped with monagrams.
Her heavy hands been clutching daddy's silver spoon
Since 1992.
(Since nineteen- hundred and ninety-two, she been banging on the table with a silver spoon)

When you're given a picture perfect living
I guess you see things different then everyone you know.
When your life is built on pride and privilege
You wonder what your missing, but there's no wonder why at all.
Yea, she don't wear it if it ain't gold.

I poured my lady the darkest wine
Served in the tallest glass a man could hope to find
And I thought it'd make her happy.
But one turned to two, and two into three
Next thing I know, she's drunk and mad at me
Screaming, "Red does it better than white could ever dream. But that's just me!"
(Dream-- red does it better than white could dream).

When you're given a picture perfect living
I guess you see things different then everyone you know.
When your life is built on pride and privilege
You wonder what your missing, but there's no wonder why at all.
If it ain't gold.
