  • Elizabeth Taylor
    Do you think it's forever?

    That view of Portofino was on my mind
    When you called me at the Plaza Athénée
    Ooh, oftentimes it doesn't feel so glamorous to be me
    All the right guys promised they'd stay
    Under bright lights, they withered away
    But you bloom
    Portofino was on my mind
    And I think you know why

    And if your letters ever said, "Goodbye"

    I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor
    Tell me for real, do you think it's forever?
    Been number one, but I never had two
    And I can't have fun if I can't have (uh)
    Be my NY when Hollywood hates me
    You're only as hot as your last hit, baby
    Been number one, but I never had two
    And I can't have fun if I can't have you

    Hey, what could you possibly get
    For the girl who has everything and nothing all at once?
    Babe, I would trade the Cartier for someone to trust (just kidding)
    We hit the best booth at Musso & Frank's
    You say I'm bad news, I just say, "Thanks"
    And you look at me like you're hypnotized
    And I think you know why

    And if you ever leave me high and dry

    I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor
    Tell me for real, do you think it's forever?
    Been number one, but I never had two
    And I can't have fun if I can't have (uh)
    Be my NY when Hollywood hates me
    You're only as hot as your last hit, baby
    Been number one, but I never had two
    And I can't have fun if I can't have (uh) you

    Elizabeth Taylor
    Do you think it's forever?
    If I can't have you

    All my white diamonds and lovers are forever
    In the papers, on the screen, and in their minds
    All my white diamonds and lovers are forever
    Don't you ever end up anything but mine

    I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor
    Tell me for real, do you think it's forever?
    Been number one, but I never had two
    And I can't have fun if I can't have you (uh)
    Be my NY when Hollywood hates me
    You're only as hot as your last hit, baby
    Been number one, but I never had two
    And I can't have fun if I can't have-

    All my white diamonds and lovers are forever (Elizabeth Taylor)
    In the papers, on the screen, and in their minds (do you think it's forever?)
    All my white diamonds and lovers are forever
    Don't you ever end up anything but mine
