She Collected - Joe Ely

She collected gun-slingers

First-stringers, dead-ringers

She just needed more

She collected dance hallers

Know-it-all-ers, wreckin'-ball-ers

She just needed more

She just needed more

She had cars, clothes and health

She just needed more

She had looks, spare time and wealth

She just needed more

She collected chain letters

Irish setters, go-getters

She just needed more

She collected show-stoppers

Window-shoppers, name droppers

She just needed more

She just needed more

She had money to pay her fines

She just needed more

I gave her all of my time

She just needed more

First I hardly noticed

I just thought she was just showing affection

But when her carpenter came

To measure me for a frame

I walked right out of her collection

She collected ransacker’s

Bushwhackers, nutcrackers

She just needed more

She collected soul sellers

Fortune-tellers, go-to-hell-ers

She just needed more

She just needed more

She had diamonds, pearls and wine

She just needed more

I gave her all of my time

She just needed more

She just needed more

She just needed more

She just needed more

She just needed more

She just needed more

She just needed more

She just needed more

More, more, more
