Rich Kid Blues

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

Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues
Got shoes and money, good friends, too
I always play to win, 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
