Solid Gold Plated Fool Songtext
von Delbert McClinton

Walkin′ to work here lately.
So baby you can drive my car
Holdin' back just enough change from my check
For a Coke and a candy bar.
Now I don′t mind a bit baby
Their doing sweet things to you
But don't you think it's just about time
You made an effort
To try to please me some too.
I found some hid out
Gift wrapped alligator shoes.
You said they suppose to be a suprise
Little things like that make me wonder bout′ you baby
Them shoes ain′t no where close to my size.
Now I don't know how long you think I′m gonna stand for
The things you do.
Cus' sometimes I think, you think you got yourself a solid gold plated fool.
Think I′m gonna go south
See a voodoo women named
Gonga Rue.


Maybe she's gotta a little something to help me make a change in you,
Bad a I hate to lose you Honey
We might have to say good-bye
I just don′t think I can stand to hear you tell me one more lie.
The lights been fadin' in my eyes here lately girl.
I sure been feelin' blue
I ain′t been on the good side of livin′
Since I've been livin′ with you!
Think I'm gonna go south
See a voodoo women named
Gonga Rue.
Maybe she′s gotta a little something to help me make a change in you,
Bad a I hate to lose you Honey
We might have to say good-bye
I just don't think I can stand to hear you tell me one more lie.
The lights been fadin′ in my eyes here lately girl.
I sure been feelin' blue
I ain't been on the good side of livin′
Since I′ve been livin' with you!
Yeah, Sometime I think, you think you got yourself a solid gold plated fool!
