Lyrics

Gold and Tears

She was healthy
I was wealthy
She was young
And I was old
She acted like
She wanted me
All she wanted
Was my gold

Gold and tears
Was the price I paid
For promised love
She never gave
I gave her love
Sincere and true
But all I got
Was an IOU

I asked my friend
Would she be faithful
And then he gave
Me his advice
I did not heed
My good friend's warning
And then I paid
A heavy price

Gold and tears
Was the price I paid
For promised love
She never gave
I gave her love
Sincere and true
But all I got
Was an IOU

I gave her love
Enough for two
But all I got
Was an IOU
An IOU
So insincere
I paid the price
With gold and tears

Once burned
Twice shy
Yet I fell for her lie
But this one took it all
And me....I took the fall

Gold and tears
Was the price I paid
