"Glamorous Life" (1984) by Sheila E.

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





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





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





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





[Instrumental Interlude]





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

Without love

It ain't much

It ain't much
