They know your face, oh so well
Box up your gloves and your down coats
The guy at the door and the bar back
Mistresses have all the fun
You throw yourself into their arms
And all you ever dreamed of was the cost
Mistresses have all the fun
The promise, the pain, the valor, the rage
But movies never made you famous
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
You know it's touch a little too well
A tip for the girl at the coat check
But no one's ever there to take you home
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
Where upper-crust tragedies abound
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
You throw yourself into their arms
But you were surely still an actress
Bound for the sun and the west coast
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
Older men would find attractive
And all you ever cared about got lost
You know that life all too well
Hold up your hands for the bow and the wave
All your dreams got lost or traded
