It's over before it starts, oh don't you know?
So hold your marks, stand by; Ready, go.
From London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo,
I see visions of her everywhere I go.
What have I become?
Now that I'm all alone.

I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold.

She overturns once again with her, oh with her champagne taste she goes
Straight down the rathole with her total recklessness
Tomorrow will come on through, and I got nothing but abandonment.
Nothing but a silhouette girl - Met her in darkness

I say, what have I become?
Now that I'm all alone.

I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold.
I said I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold.

Yeah I'm in the corner I start over - I start the whole thing clean, yeah
All the pain and heartache in all my years, I was always to blame
And I dream of this girl - yeah an angelical ghost
I met her through neighborhood
I'm a down member in a front line - Don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, I'm a downtown member in a front line - Don't let me be misunderstood

Heart of gold!

I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold.
I said I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold.
