Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues,

Got shoes and money, good friends, too.

I always play to win, and 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 that the way is too long.

And I know just exactly what's on your mind,

You'll be back and I'll lose you forever.



But I'm wondering why, girl, should I ask your name

All the people standing by, are they in my game ?

Love is just a story, a story without words,

Words are even never seen and never even heard.



And I know what's going on,

And I know that the way is too long.

And I know just exactly what's on your mind,

You'll be back and I'll lose you forever.
