Crystal Songtext / Lyric

Crystal

Elton John/Bernie Taupin

album Too Low For Zero

we're caught up in a web you and I since Crystal came between us
the knots of friendship seem to be untied
and it hurts me most to cheat
and that's no lie
she can swing us both forever
in the long run she's the one who must decide

and if she leaves me
handle her with care
don't hurt little Crystal
and if she calls you long distance
just be there
oh Crystal
the world is your oyster
you're a pearl
but he's a jewel and my friend
I'm sure that in the end
Crystal will be his little girl
oh Crystal

you're stronger than me but I'm sure that the fight would fall to no-one
the cold hard truth is stronger than us all
and it breaks my heart to see us go this far
we're just captives in our separate cells
and without her there's no peace behind these bars

and if she leaves me
handle her with care
don't hurt little Crystal
and if she calls you long distance
just be there
oh Crystal
the world is your oyster
you're a pearl
but he's a jewel and my friend
I'm sure that in the end
Crystal will be his little girl
oh Crystal
