Flash of light and sounds
It's all so cluttered
Your stormed
Am I speaking only silence
We move in circles around the truth

Muted words of white lies and house of wives
Selling you the way that's only half the game
My baby, he's a gold standard king
Oh! Your eyes met mine and they held my gaze
Don't tell these people answers
I feel some minds, oh, they just drift away

Live and die by the american dream
Please boy, won't you spare some change
My baby, he's a gold standard king
My baby, he's a gold standard
My baby, he's a gold standard
My baby, he's a gold standard king

Somewhere we fall back into rivalry
You swoop me off my feet how you talk to me
Painted clearly in my memory
Oh! Your eyes met mine and they held my gaze
Don't tell these people answers
I feel some minds, oh, they just drift away

Live and die by the american dream
Please boy, won't you spare some change
My baby, he's a gold standard king
My baby, he's a gold standard
My baby, he's a gold standard
My baby, he's a gold standard king

Oh! Oh!
He's gonna want it
And I don't know what I would do without him
Oh! Oh!
What's so cruel that's so jaded
I don't know if I could leave him

Two poison ivy eyes staring back at me
Oh! Oh!
Babe has got it twisted
But when he leaves I'll still miss him
My baby, he's a gold standard
My baby, he's a gold standard
My baby, he's a gold standard king
