i don't drive no fancy car no diamond ring, no big cigar and i still play my first guitar..... I don’t mind it, I like it
Always worn the hand-me-downs Sometimes we'd pass the best around No silver spoon found in the mouth No that’s not how we get down
I thought that I’d be real smart And pay my bills by credit cards And now I owe 2,000 dollars I don’t know how I’m gonna pay that off
If you want those fancy things Gonna take hard work and discipline It was my mother who told me this, oh yes And this is what she said
OH BABY GIRL, LOOK OUT NOW ALL THAT GLTTERS ISN’T GOLD THE REAL SHINE IS IN YOUR SOUL OH BABY GIRL, HOLD ON THEY’D LOVE TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOU DON’T YOU NEVER EVER LET ‘EM GET YOU
In your slick designer threads I’m in my thrift store kicks instead I’m stopping traffic I’m turning heads All the money in the world won’t buy you this
So put your fancy fringe aside Feathers and the leather every thing that we buy Baby girl there’s been so much more to life So don’t you worry – it’s alright….
OH BABY GIRL, LOOK OUT NOW ALL THAT GLTTERS ISN’T GOLD THE REAL SHINE IS IN YOUR SOUL OH BABY GIRL, HOLD ON THEY’D LOVE TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOU DON’T YOU NEVER EVER LET ‘EM GET YOU
(hey hey) keep your hands off of my reputation (hey hey) no no no no I will not let you bring me down (hey hey) for we are here by sheer determination (hey hey) come on, come on
OH BABY GIRL, LOOK OUT NOW ALL THAT GLTTERS ISN’T GOLD THE REAL SHINE IS IN YOUR SOUL OH BABY GIRL, HOLD ON THEY’D LOVE TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOU DON’T YOU NEVER EVER LET ‘EM GET YOU OH BABY GIRL, LOOK OUT NOW IF YOU DON’T HAVE MUCH TO SPARE THROW YOUR HANDS UP IN THE AIR OH BABY GIRL, HOLD ON THEY’D LOVE TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOU DON’T YOU NEVER EVER LET ‘EM GET YOU!!
