Heart of Gold The Kinks

Growing up isn't easy to do
Especially for one who always knew
You would always come up second best
Is that why you have such bitterness?

The apple of your father's eye
And always by your brother's side
Then a little sister came along
And you found all the affection suddenly gone

But underneath that cold exterior
I know you've got a heart of gold
So aloof, so superior
But you've got a heart of gold

Watch out, don't get caught in the crossfire
Watch out, she's still growing up, she's in a rage
I guess she's reached that difficult age

Growing up is very hard to do
Everybody watching your every move
Your private life always on view
But jealousy never really suited you
But I know that

Underneath that rude exterior
There's got to be a heart of gold
Underneath that hard exterior
Is a little girl waiting to be told
You've got a heart of gold
She's got a heart of gold
