Golden Earring

Songwriter: George Kooymans Barry Hay

Out on the street and your house is on fire
I’m like a dog with an endless desire
I had a drink and maybe more then once again
Where does that leave me? Outside, I guess

The beauty and the beast
Say yes or no
Inside a dream
Never let go
Been here before
Been there before
What do I know
And nothin’ about love

I’m like a shit
And no compass, no loter
You can count on me always the same
We’ll see
And the difference between
I don’t want any other
Is like a beauty
The beauty and the beast

The beauty and the beast
Say yes or no
Inside my dream
Never let you go
Been here before
Been there before
Why is it I know
Nothin’ about love?

Is it a secret
Or something between lovers
I’m here discoverin’ the mystery I miss
Is it I want you more than anything another?
Another sudden chance
And change of luck

The beauty and the beast
Say yes or no
Inside my dream
Never let go
Been here before
Been there before
Why is it I know
Nothin’ about love?

What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
About love

What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
About love

What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
About love
