Girl, I know what he can give you
Every single day you live you
Will be wearin' Paris gowns and diamond rings
There is nothing he can't buy you
And I can not tell a lie
You know with me you'll never get those things
But glitter and gold
Never can keep you warm at night
Glitter and gold
Never can make a wrong of right
Girl, you're gonna find
You'll have my sweet, sweet lovin' on your mind
You'll be eatin' caviar
And ridin' in a chauffeured car
And all your friends will say, How lucky can she be?
He'll be keepin' you in style
But, you remember all the while
The happiness you used to have with me
'Cause glitter and gold
Never can keep you warm at night
Glitter and gold
Never can make a wrong of right
Girl, you're gonna find
You'll have my sweet, sweet lovin' on your mind
Glitter and gold
Glitter and gold
(Well, he may be rich but he can't give you happiness like I can, now)
Glitter and gold
Glitter and gold
Well, glitter and gold
(Gonna be on your mind, now)
Glitter and gold
Well, glitter and gold
