What's going on?
Though I always play to win, I always seem to lose
Love's just a story, a story without words
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
I know what's going on

And I know, but I'll wait 'til dawn, yeah
Jumping back, I know if I'm still gonna lose you, yeah
Always play to win but always seem to lose
And I know what is going on
And I know just exactly what is on your mind
And all the people standing by, I thought they're in my game
I know what is going on
But I'm wondering why, girl, did I ask your name?
Words are almost never seen and never even heard
Though my good times are just paying dues
Jumping back, I know it's all a rut, do you want me to prove it to you
What's going on?
What's going on?

That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
And I know that I'll wait 'til dawn
I've got shoes and money and good friends, too
And I know just exactly what is on your mind

I know what's going on
