14 Karat Gold Songtext
von Gordon Lightfoot

If you see me smile, don′t think I'm acting strange
I got my just reward for all my pains
If you see me on the TV talking proud
Please understand if I don′t talk too loud

Step around and dance a bit
I polish up the dice
Set 'em loose and let 'em roll
This is my advice
Keep your mind a mystery
Runnin′ hot and cold
She′s more than money
She's 14 karat gold

If you wonder why I′m acting up this way
Gonna cash my chips, I'm leavin′ town today
I got more love than I could ever spend
So long, farewell, goodbye, this is the end


Step around and dance a bit
I polish up the dice
Set 'em loose and let ′em roll
Be as cool as ice
Keep your mind a mystery
Runnin' hot and cold
She's more than money
She′s 14 karat gold

If you get hit by the bug that bit on me
If you get caught with something soft and sweet
If you get found with something you can′t waste
Then listen, bud, let me give you a taste

Step around and dance a bit
I polish up the dice
Set 'em loose and let ′em roll
This is my advice
Keep your mind a mystery
Runnin' hot and cold
She′s more than money
She's 14 karat gold, sold


Step around and dance a bit
I polish up the dice
Set ′em loose and let 'em roll
Be as cool as ice
Keep your mind a mystery
Runnin' hot and cold
She′s more than money
She′s 14 karat gold
