Golden Earring

When only a little baby
I already was rich
Wealthy mother and father
Gave me all I could wish
Precious toys things I just wanted
Crowding the park and the stabely house
Girls were thinking they loved me
Affection still was for sale
The only time I adored one
Thinking love was real fun
Soon it started to show
That girl just wanted my dough
Gave her earrings, daimonds
A minkcoat
Hoping these would make her see
That I'm much more than only money
Affection wasn't for sale
Daddy buy me a girl
Please buy me a girl
You can spend all of your money
To make sure when she calls me honey
Rich or poor always stay crazy about me
