Lyrics She Collected - Joe Ely

She Collected

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
