Her outrageous spending habits don't matter ...
Man oh man, she's worth it ...
A just-for-the-fun-of-it song.
Lyrics:
TEN FEET TALL
A1
Beanstalk Jack learned a lot about fear
When he climbed that vine to the stratosphere
You got me feelin’ much the same my dear
You ain’t no thief but this much is clear
If they ever give out a Spending Crown
You can step right up and take a bow
You done killed my old cash cow
But when it comes to love you got it all
One night with you leaves me feelin’ Ten Feet Tall
Ten Feet Tall
A2
You’d be my bane if I were President
An economic pestilence
No Secretary of Defence
Could guard the nation’s banks against
Your money-disappearing act
You are the best and that’s a fact
You can sing the anthem when you’re fat
But when it comes to love you got it all
One night with you leaves me feelin’ Ten Feet Tall
Ten Feet Tall
Ten Feet Tall
Ten Feet Tall

New clothes new shoes new credit card
If I had the money you’d be drivin’ a brand new car
New pastime gamblin’ hard
I knew one day you’d go too far
Just like Newton’s apples hit the ground
You’re bringin’ my bank balance down
You could give King Midas doubts
But when it comes to love you got it all
One night with you leaves me feelin’ Ten Feet Tall
Ten Feet Tall
Ten Feet Tall
Ten Feet Tall
