As I wander around this wreck of a town, where people never speak aloud, with its ivory towers and its plastic flowers, I wish I was back in 1981.

I keep wondering about her, day and night. She's probably thinks I was a fool. She's right. She don't know it but I'm gonna keep on searchin' for that woman. I'm gonna search everywhere, and if the law don't get her, then I will. Four little diamonds.

I've taken lots of chances before, but I ain't gonna give any more, believe me. That's how it goes, 'cause part of me knows what you're thinking. I am the eye in the sky looking at you, I can read your mind. I am the maker of rules dealing with fools, I can cheat you blind.

Well, I'm this I.Q. genius, I can solve the world's problems without even trying. I've got dozens of friends and the fun never ends, that is, as long as I'm buying. Isn't it a wonder I'm not the President?

I've been uptight and I've made a mess, but I'll clean it up myself I guess. Oh, the sweet smell of success. Handle me with care.

I could leave you, say good bye. Or I could love you if I try. And I could. And left to my own devices, I probably would.

He's got plenty of cash, he's got plenty of friends. He drives women wild, and he drives up in a Mercedes Benz.

One of us is crying. One of us lying in her lonely bed, staring at the ceiling, wishing she were somewhere else instead.

Looks like my album collection when I was growing up in the 80's. However, I don't think I had the best taste back then!
