Simple Economics
The volunteers were tired
Heads were hanging low
The news had spoiled their appetite
For stuffing envelopes
Twelve points was an awful lot to be down in the polls
With only two weeks to go
Shouldering the phone
Loosening his tie
His running mate on pricks and pins
Hovering beside
The candidate wrote furiously as if to save his life
Then hung up the phone and spoke with great conviction
When you're nothing but a boyfriend
Dangling by a thread
Keep in mind the bottom line
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Inches from the goal
One thing on his mind
To get behind her desk and make
Some big decisions
Power can be such a tease, you're always wanting more
It's good to know that just like sex it can be paid for
When you're nothing but a boyfriend
Dangling by a thread
Keep in mind the bottom line
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Heads were hanging low
The news had spoiled their appetite
For stuffing envelopes
Twelve points was an awful lot to be down in the polls
With only two weeks to go
Shouldering the phone
Loosening his tie
His running mate on pricks and pins
Hovering beside
The candidate wrote furiously as if to save his life
Then hung up the phone and spoke with great conviction
When you're nothing but a boyfriend
Dangling by a thread
Keep in mind the bottom line
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Inches from the goal
One thing on his mind
To get behind her desk and make
Some big decisions
Power can be such a tease, you're always wanting more
It's good to know that just like sex it can be paid for
When you're nothing but a boyfriend
Dangling by a thread
Keep in mind the bottom line
Diamonds are a girls best friend
