Well, I've been Dup all night again, AParty-time wasting is E...too much fun, Then I sDtep back thinking of lAife's Asus4inner mean - Aing, And my E ...latest fling, It's the Dsame old story, Aall love and glory, It's a Epantomime, If you're lDooking for love in a Alooking-glass world, It's pretty E ...hard to find
[Verse 4]
Oh, Dmother of pearl, AI wouldn't trade you for a - Enother girl, Di - Dvine intervention, al - Aways my intention, So I E ...take my time, I've been lDooking for something AI've always wanted, But was Enever mine, but now I've Dseen that something, Just Aout of reach, glowing, very E ...Holy Grail
[Verse 5]
Oh, Dmother of pearl, lAustrous lady of a Esacred world, Thus, Deven Zarathustra, a - Another time-loser, Could be - Elieve in you, with every Dgoddess a let down, Every Aidol a bring down, it E...gets you down, But the Dsearch for perfection, Your Aown predilection goes Eon, and on, and on, and on
[Verse 6]
Can - Dadian Club love, A Aplace in the country, every - Eone's ideal, But you are Dmy favorita, and a Aplace in your heart, dear, Makes me E ...feel more ...real

Oh, Dmother of pearl, AI wouldn't change you for the E ...whole world, You're Dhighbrow holy, With lAots of soul, melancholy E ...shimmering, Ser - Dpentine sleekness was Aalways my weakness, Like a E...simple tune, But Dno dilettante Afiligree fancy beats the E...plastic you
[Verse 8]
Ca - Dreer-girl cover, ex - Aposed, And another slips right Einto view, Oh, Dlooking for love in a Alooking-glass world, Is pretty .E..hard for you, few Dthrow-away kisses, The Aboomerang misses, spin E...'round, and around, Fall on Dfeather bed quilted, AFaced with silk softly stuffed E...eiderdown, Take Drefuge in pleasure, Just Agive me your future, we'll for E - get your past
[Verse 9]
Oh, Dmother of pearl, ASubmarine lover in a E...shrinking world, Oh, Dlonely dreamer, Your Achoker provokes a picture E...cameo, Oh, Dmother of pearl, So - Aso semi-precious in your E...detached world, Oh, Dmother of pearl, AI wouldn't trade you for a - Enother girl
[Coda]
Oh, Dmother of pearl, AI wouldn't trade you for a - Enother girl, Oh, Dmother of pearl, AI wouldn't trade you for a - Enother girl, Oh, Dmother of pearl, N.C.I wouldn't trade you for another girl
