Diamond Smiles

Traffic's wild tonight Diamond smiles her cocktail smile Tonight she's in heavy disguise She looks at her wrist to clock the passing time Weather's mild tonight She wonders will they notice her eyes She wonders will her glamour survive And can they see she's going down a third time Everybody tries It's Dale Carnegie gone wild But Barbara Cartland's child Long ago perfected the motionless glide In the low voltage noise Diamond seems so sure and so poised She shimmers for the bright young boys And says, "Love is for others, but me it destroys" The girl in the cake Jumped out too soon by mistake Somebody said the whole thing's half baked And Diamond lifts her glass and says, "Cheers" She stands to the side There's no more to this than meets the eye Everybody drinks Martini dry And talks about clothes and the latest styles They said she did it With grace, they said she did it With style, they said she did it all Oh, they said Before she died Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I remember Diamond smiles Nobody saw her go They said they should have noticed 'Cause her dress was cut so low Well, it only goes to show Ha, ha, how many real men any of us know She went up the stairs Stood up on the vanity chair Tied her lame belt around the chandelier And went out kicking at the perfumed air Oh, oh They said she did it With grace, they said she did it With style, they said she did it all They said Before she died Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I remember Diamond smiles
