I bought a house fit for a queen,
Just for you to live in!
Not mentioning that diamond ring,
But now you're gone with the wind!

But, you can't desert me now,
And I'll get you back somehow!
No matter what you think,
I'll be the one in pink!
'Cause I can't afford to lose you now!

Beside spending all my time
To have you close to me,
You've taken my last dime,
And left me in poverty!

But, I can't afford to lose you now,
And I'll end up with you somehow!
No matter what the cost,
I'll end up being boss!
'Cause I can't afford to lose you now!

I spent many lonely nights
Before I met the likes of you!
So I deserve the rights
To have a wife that is true!

So, you can't desert me now,
And I'll get you back somehow!
No matter what you think,
I'll be the one in pink!
'Cause I can't afford to lose you now!
