rich kid blues

Marianne Faithfull

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.
