If you see me smile don't think I'm acting strange

I got my just reward for all my pains

I you see me on the TV talking proud

Please understand if I don't talk too loud

Step around and dance a bit

Polish up the dice

Set 'em loose and let 'em roll

This is my advice

Keep your mind a mystery

Runnin' hot 'n' cold

She's more than money

She's 14 Karat Gold

If you wonder why I'm acting up this way

Gonna cash my chips I'm leavin' town today

I got more love than I could ever spend

So long, farewell, good-bye, this is the end

Step around and dance a bit

Polish up the dice

Set 'em loose and let 'em roll

Be as cool as ice

Keep your mind a mystery

Runnin' hot 'n' cold

She's more than money

She's 14 Karat Gold

If you get hit by the bug that bit on me

If you get caught with something soft and sweet

If you get found with something you can't waste

Then listen bud, let me give you a taste

Step around and dance a bit

Polish up the dice

Set 'em loose and let 'em roll

This is my advice

Keep your mind a mystery

Runnin' hot 'n' cold

She's more than money

She's 14 Karat Gold

Step around and dance a bit

Polish up the dice

Set 'em loose and let 'em roll

Be as cool as ice

Keep your mind a mystery

Runnin' hot 'n' cold

She's more than money

She's 14 Karat Gold
