Lyrics
Like trying to knock down pins with marbles in my hand
Attempting something difficult or impossible with inadequate resources.
She wouldn't take a hi from me the average man
Facing rejection from someone who sees themselves as superior.
Funny what money can do to people
Reflecting on the impact of money on people's behavior.
But she had a light that had sparked up her evil
Despite financial influence, she possessed a captivating and potentially malevolent quality.
Trying to chat up women who rate themselves so high
Attempting to engage with women who have a high self-perception.
Shouldn't be my subject but I felt like I should try
Stepping outside of one's comfort zone to pursue a romantic interest.
Funny what drink can do for soldiers
Noting the transformative effects of alcohol on behavior, possibly in a social setting.
Well she must into men a little bit older
Speculating that she may have a preference for older men.
Funny how it goes, how money steals the show
Reflecting on the impact of money on life's dynamics.
And all her diamonds twinkle as she dances and what's it got for me
Observing her adorned with diamonds while questioning its significance for the speaker.
Hung over in my tree?
Expressing a sense of detachment or isolation, possibly due to the influence of wealth.
I saw the sun shine bright in front of
Experiencing a moment of clarity or realization in the presence of sunlight.
Trying to get her dancing was not an easy job
Finding it challenging to get her to dance, suggesting difficulty in connecting with her.
She made out like Houdini when I said do you bop
Comparing her evasion to Houdini's escape acts when asked about dancing.
Funny what rhythm does it kills me
Reflecting on the impact of rhythm, possibly in a musical context, on the speaker.
Like champagne women only seem to spill me
Experiencing disappointment or rejection, likened to spilled champagne.
Trying to get the picture, I settled down to a drink
Trying to understand the situation while having a drink.
When up came Cinderella, so what was I to think
Encountering an unexpected situation or person, akin to Cinderella appearing.
Funny how these shoes fit a dragon
Noting the irony of someone seemingly delicate fitting into a challenging role.
Well she's like the sharks that you get in Manhattan
Comparing her to aggressive and opportunistic individuals in a city environment.
Funny how it goes, how money steals the show
Reiterating the impact of money on shaping experiences and perceptions.
And all her diamonds twinkle as she dances and what's it got for me
Observing her adorned with diamonds while questioning its significance for the speaker.
Hung over in my tree?
Repeating the sense of detachment or isolation, possibly due to the influence of wealth.
I saw the sun shine bright in front of
Reaffirming a moment of clarity or realization in the presence of sunlight.
