Lyrics

Paperback Head

You have to become What you fancy Paperback head You get carried away Stitch up your spine Keep the suitors away You must draw your own aid Must sift your affairs Must frame up A material girl Wild fires You must remit Can't stand the smoke Pull the sheets down low Rope up your mind Keep the suitors in line Must draw your own aid Must sift your affairs Must frame up A material girl A material girl I gasp like sugar and spice I gasp like sugar and spice Who better than you? Better than you Who better than you? Better than you Who better than you? Better than you Who better than you? A paperback head You get carried away Stitch up your spine Keep the suitors away Can't stand the smoke Pull the sheets down low Rope up your mind Keep the suitors in line You must draw your own aid Must sift your affairs Must frame up A material girl A material girl, a material girl A material girl, a material girl A material girl, a material girl A material girl
