[Verse 1]
Tonight we had a party at our house
The fun and laughter rang until the last goodbye
But now the crowd is gone and we're so lone in our mansion
'Cause without love, it's just a fancy place to cry
[Chorus]
Velvet curtains, silver spoons
Persian rugs and fourteen rooms
But love is the one thing we can't buy
Picture windows, scenic view
It's our every dream come true
But without love, it's just a fancy place to cry
[Verse 2]
Our picture made the social page last Sunday
Local folks make good in their home town
But climbing up that social ladder to our mansion
It's sad to know we left love on the ground
[Chorus]
Velvet curtains, silver spoons
Persian rugs and fourteen rooms
But love is the one thing we can't buy
Picture windows, scenic view
It's our every dream come true
But without love, it's just a fancy place to cry
We've got no love, it's just a fancy place to cry
