Been having bad times
And I've been 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 is going on
And I know, but I'll wait til dawn
And I know just exactly what is on your mind
Jumping back, I know if I'm still gonna lose you
But I'm wondering why, girl
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 are almost never seen
And never even heard
I know what is going on
And I know that I'll wait til dawn
And I know just exactly what is on your mind
Jumping back, I know it's all a rut, you want me to prove it to you
Though my good times
Are just paying dues
I've 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's going on
I know what's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
