Been having bad times
And I am paying dues
Got shoes and money
And good friends too
Always play to win
But always seem to lose
That's why I think I got
A rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
And I know what's going on
And I know, but I'll wait till dawn
And I know just exactly what's on your mind
And you'll be back, and I know that, oh yeah
But was I wondering why now
Did I ask your name
And all the people standing by
Oh, they're in my game
Love's just a story
A story without words
Words that are almost never seen
And never even heard
I know what is going on
And I know that I'll wait till dawn
And I know just exactly what is on your mind
Cos you'll be back, and I know that, oh yeah
Though my good times
Just paying dues
I got shoes and money
And good friends too
Though I always play to win
I always seem to lose
That's why I think I got
A rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
I know what is going on
And I know that some wait till dawn
And I know that there is something on your mind
Cos you'll be back, just to prove it, oh yeah
Oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh yeah
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
