Poor little rich girl
Who can know
How jealosy hurts me so
I cry tears of gold
Poor little rich girl
Sweet and kind
Misunderstood every time
I cry tears of gold

Just because I've got it all
And take things in my stride
And just because I'm beautiful
Especially when I ride
You're always trying to compete
But don't get in too deep
Much as you try to measure up
Good breeding doesn't come cheap

But I'll set an example
Be all that I can
The way I look, the way I ride, the way I am

If you open your eyes you'll see
Shining inside of me
A frightened and caring girl
Just trying to be
But please don't hate me
I can't help who I am
And please open your heart
And be my friend, be my friend

Poor little rich girl
Who can know
How jealosy hurts me so
I cry tears of gold
Poor little rich girl
Sweet and kind
Misunderstood every time
I cry tears of gold

Tears of gold
Tears of gold
Tears of gold
Tears of gold...
