I Wish She Was A Car (by G. Wade)
------
there was a girl
make that a woman.
i bought her some pearls
but she lost them while swimmin'.
    i replaced them with sapphire, 
    but they burned in a grass fire
i should've just got her a car...

i bought her a malachite
and then a big onyx
but she bet both on one night, on 
the Seattle Supersonics
    i bought her an emerald, 
    but it, too, was ephemeral
i should've just got her a car...

diamonds don't need no water pumps, but old VW's won't fall down the drain
rubies won't run a red light in New York, but old Volvos won't cause me no
pain
