Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summer time
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind
[Verse 2]
She's got big thoughts, big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes Sedan
What I think this girl
She really wants is to be in love with a man
[Verse 3]
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
But without love it ain't much
[Verse 4]
She saw him standin' in the section marked
If you have to ask, you can't afford it lingerie
She threw him bread and said make me scream
In the dark what could he say? (What could he say?)
[Verse 5]
Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don't impress me in bed
She said, "I need a man's man, baby"
Diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head
[Verse 6]
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love it ain't much
[Verse 7]
They made haste in the brown Sedan
They drove to 55 Secret Street
They made love and by the seventh wave
She knew she had a problem
She thought real love is real scary
Money only pays the rent
Love is forever, that's all your life
Love is heaven sent, it's glamorous
[Verse 8]
Lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love it ain't much
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love it ain't much
To lead (The glamorous life)
She don't need (A man's touch)
She wants to lead (A glamorous life)
Without love it ain't much
