Been having bad times And I've been paying dues Got shoes and money And good friends, too Always play to win But 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 is going on And I know but I'll wait 'til dawn And I know just exactly what is on your mind Jumping back, I know if I'm still gonna lose you But I'm wondering why, girl Did I ask your name? And all the people standing by Oh, they're in my game Love's just a story A story without words Words are almost never seen And never even heard I know what is going on And I know that I'll wait 'til dawn And I know just exactly what is on your mind Jumping back, I know it's all a rut, you want me to prove it to you Though my good times Are just paying dues I've got shoes and money And good friends, too Though I always play to win I 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 I know What's going on I know What's going on What's going on What's going on What's going on
