I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised beneath the halo'd moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' games
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I cannot drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game
[ sax ]
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I cannot drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
