Lyrics

I bought you a fur coat (shu-du, shu-du)
When you were fifteen (shu-du, shu-du)
You wore it to the disco (shu-du, shu-du)
Where everyone was in jeans (shu-du, shu-du)
But you were just a rich girl
And only having fun
Your worn out dresses
Got stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
You left for London (shu-du, shu-du)
When you were nineteen (shu-du, shu-du)
Had to pawn all your nice clothes (shu-du, shu-du)
Just living on dreams (shu-du, shu-du)
A man in the bright lights, took all that you own (shu-du, shu-du)
Now he's taken your freedom for a date unknown (shu-du, shu-du)
But you were just a rich girl, hardly having fun
Your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl, you've been away for so long
And now little rich girl, I wrote this song
Hey, little rich girl, my love for you is gone
And now little rich girl, I know where you went wrong
(Shu-du, shu-du, shu-du, shu-du, shu-du, shu-du, shu-du, shu-du)
At your dad's office party (shu-du, shu-du)
All the movies were blue (shu-du, shu-du)
You caused him so much heartache (shu-du, shu-du)
Because the screen star was you (shu-du, shu-du)
You left for London (shu-du, shu-du)
When you were nineteen (shu-du, shu-du)
Had to pull off your nice clothes (shu-du, shu-du)
But you were living on dreams (shu-du, shu-du)
You were a rich girl, and only having fun
But your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl, where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl, where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl, where did you go wrong?
