But on the other hand, she's all they have
She's a diamond in their dull gray lives
And that's the hardest kind of stone
It usually survives

And when you think about it
Can you recall
The last time they loved
Anyone at all?

She's not a bauble you can brush aside
She's been out doing what we
Just talked about, example
Gave us back our businesses, got the English out

And when you think about it
Well, why not do
One or two of the things
We promised to?

But on the other hand, she's slowing down
She's lost a little of that magic drive
But I would not advise those critics present to derive
Any satisfaction from her fading star
She's the one who's kept us where we are

She's the one who's kept you where you are
