Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He is a man forced to live with the rats
But he is dying for a smile from you
He is a man without a home in his life
Is that a reason to walk on the line?
It's like a game, don't mess around
Don't be a fool, so just go on
[Verse 2]
No life of double standard what he's looking for
Only a dream of tender delight
No more a bloody fool in this dirty town
So get away, take your own line
Hard is the game, don't turn around
You make the rules, so hold your ground
[Verse 3]
He's got a heart of gold
The brain to realize he leads a better life
He's got a heart of gold
So free your mind, live with a smile
[Verse 4]
Heart of gold, just like a diamond in the rough
He is dying for a touch from you
No more a bloody fool in the goddamn town
Please be strong for just one time
So play this game and move the pawns
It's up to you, so just go on
[Verse 5]
He's got a heart of gold
The heart to free his soul, the heart to reach the goal
Sweet little heart of gold
So free and fine, live with a smile
Live with a smile on your face
[Verse 6]
Hard is the game, don't turn around
No more a fool, so just go on
[Verse 7]
He's got a heart of gold
The brain to realize he leads a better life
He's got a heart of gold
So free your mind, live with a smile
[Verse 8]
He's got a heart of gold
The heart to free his soul, the heart to reach the goal
Sweet little heart of gold
So free and fine, live with a smile
Just live with a smile on your face
[Verse 9]
He is dying for a smile from you
So just go on, go on, go on
With your heart of gold
Don't turn around
You make the rules, so hold your ground
Sweet little heart of gold
