The Glamorous Life Lyrics
She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summer time
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
<i>Chorus</i>
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
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
<i>Chorus</i>
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
<i>Chorus</i>
Even in the summer time
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind
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
"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
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
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

prince killin it, how many hit songs did this guy write?
FAN...TAS...TIC song about material wealth vs. something more and a very good soundbyte of 80's materialism/angst.
Hahaha. This song still rocks. 80s goodness!
This song is about someone caring about the material things than over things like love.
"... and a big brown Mercedes sedan" Lol. I love this song.

All these years later, and nobody ever commented on what problem the protagonist ran into. Did she find herself IN love? Did she find herself lacking love and wanting it. Inquiring minds want to know!
This song is as annoying now as it was when it came out!!!!
@Thia007 - Listen to the music. Sheila E is pretty good, comes from quite a musically talented family!
