You start a love affair
You think you're getting there
But oh, there are some troubles on the way
The road to paradise
Is slippery as ice
One has to think about that every day

Oh baby, it's not always easy to love you
When I see the colour of my clothes
I don't know if it's clever
To wash them all together
And why my pants keep shrinking,
heaven knows.

Oh baby, it's not always easy to love you
When I see the way you drive my car
But I don't get offensive
Although you are expensive
The most expensive girl by far

There's water on the floor
Outside the bathroom door
With every note you sing the tide gets higher
I'm sure you'll find a way
I'll live to see the day
That you will put our peaceful home on fire

Oh baby, it's not always easy to love you
When you press your iron on my suit
And I get dizzy looking
At food that you are cooking
But never mind, I'll have a piece of fruit

Oh baby, it's not always easy to love you
When I see the way you drive my car
But I don't get offensive
Although you are expensive
The most expensive girl by far

Oh baby, it's not always easy to love you
When I see the way you drive my car
But I don't get offensive
Because you are expensive
The most expensive girl,
The most exquisite pearl,
The most fantastic girl by far.
