If I had said what you said
I would have won
But I was just across the isle
On the other side of the world

She could have chosen any of us
But she chose you
It's kind of hard to swallow
To tell you the truth

Oh yeah she was something sweet
Yeah, yeah she was something brief
Something brief

Her purse it was pearled
Her dress it was white
And the contrast between them
Is the beauty I find
The emotion that I feel when she's standing still
Is that of a poor boy
In Beverly Hills

Yeah, yeah she was something sweet
And oh, yeah she was something brief
Yeah, yeah she was something sweet

Yeah, yeah she was something sweet
Oh, yeah she was something brief
Yeah, yeah she was something sweet
