I was in for a penny, out for a pound
I was wearing a crown wherever you came around
I was blinded by glitter, shackled by gold
'Cause you had so many secrets
That were never to be told

One day I found out about you
Oh, the curtains were cleared
And it was worse than I hoped for
It was worse than I feared
No, I wasn't your diamond
I was no precious thing
I was just another pearl on your endless string

You need to be much better love
So I need to find a better love, better love
You ain't gonna get much better love
Acting like that, be better love, better love

I should have cut all my losses, took my heart off my sleeve
'Cause you're like a thief, you nearly stole it from me
I let myself be so blinded by the twinkle in your eye
That I didn't even see you leaving me high and dry

One day I found out about you
Oh, the curtains were cleared
And it was worse than I hoped for
It was worse than I feared
No, I wasn't your diamond
I was no precious thing
I was just another pearl on a string

So you need to be much better love
So I need to find a better love, better love
You ain't gonna get much better love
Acting like that, be better love, better love
You need to be much better love
So I need to find a better love, better love
You ain't gonna get much better love
Acting like that, be better love, better love
