I forgot what you looked like I forgot your skin I wanted to stand up and make you a mountain. I wanted to gather, some stars in my hand. And drop them before you, like they were sand. ‘Cus I wanted you glowing, so you could see… what I’m seeing.
When I behold you, but I forgot your skin Now I’m not a rich man, but I just had to prove, so I gathered some gold dust, and I flung it on you.
But you’re finer than gold, You’re finer than gold. You’re finer than gold.
‘Cus gold doesn’t suit you. Not on your skin. Like a drunk in the morning, Just doesn’t fit in. So happy birthday, I don’t have a gift. I spent all my money, only have this…
You’re finer than gold. You’re finer than gold. You’re finer than gold.
So now I sit here, alone in my room. Holding this necklace, and thinking of you. I just want to break it, dig it a hole. I know you forgive me, ‘cus how could I know? You’re finer than gold.
