She collected

Gun-slingers, first-stringers, dead-ringers

She just needed more



She collected

Dance hallers, Know-it-all-ers, Wreckin-ball-ers

She just needed more

She just needed more



She had cars, clothes and heath

She just needed more

She had looks, spare time and wealth

She just needed more





She collected

Chain letters, Irish setters, go-getters

She just needed more



She collected

Show-stoppers, window-shoppers, name droppers, 

She just needed more

She just needed more



She had money to pay her fines

She just needed more

I gave her all of my time

She just needed more



At first I hardly noticed

I thought she was just showing affection

But when her carpenter came

to measure me for a frame

I walked right out of her collection





She collected

Ransackers, bushwhackers, nutcrackers

She just needed more

She collected

Soul sellers, fortune-tellers,  Go-to-Hell-ers

She just needed more

She just needed more



She had diamonds, pearls and wine

She just needed more

I gave her all of my time

She just needed more
