The Stingers - Rich Boy Lyrics

RICH BOY

I remember a time
When your money didn’t mean a thing
We spent our time looking through
Second hand diamond rings
But as our wedding day had come along
There’s a change up in your mind
And all your friends are telling all my friends
That a richer man you’d find

Thank you for leaving me
I’m a rich boy now
Bless you for deceiving me
I’m a rich boy now

I knew a change was coming on
When you ridiculed my job
You even asked to sell the songs I wrote for you
I found that very odd
More and more you walked straight to my door
Wearing some new fancy dress
And all the while your doctored smile
Was just see through guiltiness

Thank you for leaving me
I’m a rich boy now
Bless you for deceiving me
I’m a rich boy now

But when we made love
I could always reach your soul
I heard it cry out
Where did she go? Oh oh

So now you got your diamond ring
And a love worth less than gold
And you don’t have to do a thing
Or so I’ve been told
Cause we lost touch some time ago
When you tried to break my heart
But I found another before you
Decided we should part
Thank you for leaving me
I’m a rich boy now
Bless you for deceiving me
I’m a rich boy now
Thank you for leaving me
I’m a rich boy now
Bless you for deceiving me
I’m a rich boy now
I’m a rich boy now
I’m a rich boy now (slow ending)
