But I know that underneath that rude exterior
I only wanted to take a photograph of you
He must have been the one who always knew
So aloof and so superior
Everybody watching your every move
But I know that inside
So aloof and so superior
But I was shocked when I heard what you had to say
I didn't really mean to ruin your day
You've got a heart of gold
But underneath that cold exterior
Is a little girl waiting to be told
Growing up is very hard to do
Little princess suddenly grown
Watch out, still growing up, she's in a rage
Underneath that rude exterior
She's got a heart of gold
You've got a heart of gold
I couldn't understand your attitude
And always by your brother's side
Your private life always on view
But you've got a heart of gold
You would always come up second best
I know you've got a heart of gold
Underneath that rude exterior
Watch her, she'll give you a broadside
And you found all the affection suddenly gone
But jealously never really suited you
Now I see you've got a little girl of your own
Is that why you have such bitterness?
And there's a man, he's smiling at you
Watch out, don't get caught in the crossfire
Then a little sister came along
But you've got a heart of gold
I guess she's reached that difficult age
You picked up my camera and threw it away
Underneath that hard exterior
You had a heart of gold
There's got to be a heart of gold
The apple of your father's eye
Underneath that hard exterior
You've got a heart of gold
You've got a heart of gold
