Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)

Lyrics

Saw your picture on a poster
In a cafe out in Hilo
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo
As for me and little Mandy
We still make the circuit
On a one-horse trailer and a mobile home
And she still talks about you all the time
And I guess she didn't even cross your mind

And then sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to light up
With your rhinestones and your sequins
And the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd they always love you
As for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters isn't gold

Lyrics continue below...

Well old Ed he's getting older
And last Saturday he stumbled
But you know I just can't bear to let him go
Little Mandy she's still growing
And she's started asking questions
Of some certain things a man just doesn't know
Her birthday came and you didn't even call
And I guess she didn't even cross your mind

And then sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to light up
With your rhinestones and your sequins
And the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd they always love you
As for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters isn't gold

Everybody said you'd make it big one day
And I guess that we were only in your way
And one day I'm sure you're gonna know the cost
'Cause for every time you win there's something lost

And then sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to light up
With your rhinestones and your sequins
And the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd they always love you
As for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters isn't gold

No, everything that glitters isn't gold
No, everything that glitters isn't gold
