Heart of Gold — текст песни (Kinks)

Growing up isnt 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 fathers eye,

And always by your brothers side.

Then a little sister came along,

And you found all the affection suddenly gone.



But underneath that cold exterior

I know youve got a heart of gold.

So aloof, so superior,

But youve got a heart of gold.



Watch out, dont get caught in the crossfire.

Watch out, shes still growing up, shes in a rage,

I guess shes reached that difficult age.



Growing up is very hard to do,

Everyone watching your every move.

Your private life always on view,

But jealously never really suited you.

But I know that



Underneath that rude exterior,

Theres got to be a heart of gold.

Underneath that hard exterior,

Is a little girl waiting to be told,

Youve got a heart of gold.

Shes got a heart of gold.



I couldnt 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, threw it away,

I didnt really mean to ruin your day.



Now I see youve got a little girl of your own.

Little princess certainly grown,

And theres a man, hes smiling at you.

He must have been the one who always knew.

You had a heart of gold.



Underneath that rude exterior,

Youve got a heart of gold.

So aloof, so superior,

But youve got a heart of gold.

Underneath that rude exterior,

Youve got a heart of gold.

Underneath that hard exterior,

Youve got a heart of gold.



Watch her, shell give you a broadside,

But I know that inside,

She got a heart of gold.
