You've got nothing else to rely on
Highlighting a sense of reliance on the comfort of satin pillows due to a lack of alternative support.
You gave up the most precious thing in life

You turned from love to be a rich man's wife

You're something he bought to keep from growing old

And you've got fancy dresses and big cars

Diamonds that outshine the brightest stars
Highlighting the opulence of diamonds, which fails to replace the love that was lost.
But diamonds can't replace the love we knew
Expressing the inadequacy of material wealth in replacing the depth of past love.
They won't keep you warm like my arms used to
Comparing the warmth of past love to the inability of diamonds to provide emotional comfort.
Now you've got satin pillows to cry on
