Lyrics

She's got the cool look, she's got the money man
She's got the diamonds, she's even got the suntan
But she's a bright girl, she's got a law degree
She pioneered the introduction of the cd

When she was young she read the gurdjieff books
The wisdom blew her away
She's got the money, got good looks
But the girl's got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl's got no confidence

She went to berkley, did primal therapy
She wrote the music for a series on the tv
She studied rumi and ibn'arabi
She meditated every summer in a teepee

But no religion's gonna tie her down
She loves her beautiful clothes
She's sittin' pretty livin' way up town
But the girl, the girl's got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl's got no confidence

Little by little she got heavy round the middle
She wore a silk kimono when the sun went down
She wrote to her mother and she took another lover
She gets a little lonely when the sun goes down

She's got the cool look, she's got the money man
She's got the diamonds, she's even got the suntan
But she's a bright girl, she's got a law degree
She pioneered the introduction of the cd

When she was young she read the gurdjieff books
The wisdom blew her away
She's got the money, she's got good looks
But the girl, the girl's got no confidence
No the girl, the girl's got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl's got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl's got no confidence
