Growing up isn't easy to do |
|
Especially for one who always knew |
|
You would always come up second best |
|
Is that why you have such bitterness? |
|
The apple of your father's eye |
|
And always by your brother's side |
|
Then a little sister came along |
|
And you found all the affection suddenly gone |
|
But underneath that cold exterior |
|
I know you've got a heart of gold |
|
So aloof and so superior |
|
But you've got a heart of gold |
|
Watch out, don't get caught in the crossfire |
|
Watch out, still growing up, she's in a rage |
|
I guess she's reached that difficult age |
|
Growing up is very hard to do |
|
Everybody watching your every move |
|
Your private life always on view |
|
But jealously never really suited you |
|
But I know that underneath that rude exterior |
|
There's got to be a heart of gold |
|
Underneath that hard exterior |
|
Is a little girl waiting to be told |
|
You've got a heart of gold |
|
She's got a heart of gold |
|
I couldn't understand your attitude |
|
I only wanted to take a photograph of you |
|
But I was shocked when I heard what you had to say |
|
You picked up my camera and threw it away |
|
I didn't really mean to ruin your day |
|
Now I see you've got a little girl of your own |
|
Little princess suddenly grown |
|
And there's a man, he's smiling at you |
|
He must have been the one who always knew |
|
You had a heart of gold |
|
Underneath that rude exterior |
|
You've got a heart of gold |
|
So aloof and so superior |
|
But you've got a heart of gold |
|
Underneath that rude exterior |
|
You've got a heart of gold |
|
Underneath that hard exterior |
|
You've got a heart of gold |
|
Watch her, she'll give you a broadside |
|
But I know that inside |
|
She got a heart of gold |
