[Peron:]
But on the other hand--she's all they have
She's a diamond in their dull gray lives--and that's the
Hardest kind of stone--it usually survives
And when you think about it, can you recall
The last time they loved anyone at all?
She's not a bauble you can brush aside
She's been out doing what we just talked about--example
Gave us back our businesses, got the English out
And when you think about it--well why not do
One or two of the things we promised to?
But on the other hand she's slowing down
She's lost a little of that magic drive--but I would
Not advise those critics present to derive
Any satisfaction from her fading star
She's the one who's kept us where we are
[Chorus boys:]
She's the one who's kept you where you are
But on the other hand--she's all they have
She's a diamond in their dull gray lives--and that's the
Hardest kind of stone--it usually survives
And when you think about it, can you recall
The last time they loved anyone at all?
She's not a bauble you can brush aside
She's been out doing what we just talked about--example
Gave us back our businesses, got the English out
And when you think about it--well why not do
One or two of the things we promised to?
But on the other hand she's slowing down
She's lost a little of that magic drive--but I would
Not advise those critics present to derive
Any satisfaction from her fading star
She's the one who's kept us where we are
[Chorus boys:]
She's the one who's kept you where you are
