[Verse 1]

I don't invest in bonds
Who needs real estate when I got you?
You're my platinum blonde
With your spandex on

[Chorus]

My best friend in the world
Look like you could've been in Faster Pussycat
In your leather jacket with the patches on the back
You're my precious metal girl

With the L.A. Guns
For the Aqua Net in your hairdo
[Pre-Chorus]
When the neon lights stop shining
I see you like a silver lining
[Chorus]
You're my precious metal girl
My best friend in the world
Look like you could've been in Faster Pussycat
In your leather jacket with the patches on the back
You're my precious metal girl
[Bridge]

The sun sets on Sunset, but you still shine
You still shine, 'cause
[Chorus]
You're my precious metal girl
My best friend in the world
Look like you could've been in Faster Pussycat
In your leather jacket with the patches on the back
You're my precious metal girl
