  • She wears a long fur coat of mink
    Even in the summertime
    Everybody knows from the coy little wink
    The girl's got a lot on her mind
    She's got big thoughts, big dreams
    And a big brown Mercedes sedan
    What I think this girl
    She really wants is to be in love with a man

    She wants to lead the glamorous life
    She don't need a man's touch
    She wants to lead the glamorous life
    Without love it ain't much

    (Whoa, whoa, ooh)

    She saw him standing in the section marked
    "If you have to ask you can't afford it" lingerie
    She threw him bread and said, "Make me scream
    In the dark," what could he say?
    Boys with small talk and small minds
    Really don't impress me in bed
    She said, "I need a man's man, baby
    Diamonds and furs
    Love would only conquer my head "

    She wants to lead the glamorous life
    She don't need a man's touch
    She wants to lead the glamorous life
    Without love it ain't much

    They made haste in the brown sedan
    They drove to 55 Secret Street
    They made love and by the seventh wave
    She knew she had a problem
    She thought real love is real scary
    Money only pays the rent
    Love is forever, that's all your life
    Love is Heaven-sent it's glamorous

    Lead the glamorous life
    She don't need a man's touch
    She wants to lead the glamorous life
    Without love it ain't much, it ain't much

    She wants to lead the glamorous life
    She don't need a man's touch
    She wants to lead the glamorous life
    Without love it ain't much, it ain't much

    Lead the glamorous life
    She don't need a man's touch
    She wants to lead the glamorous life
