Carlene Carter - Gold-Hearted Lady lyrics

(Carlene Carter)

Gold-hearted Lady, they don't understand you

They take you for granted

Think they understand you

You're not one to cry

But your heart has been broken

So one more love leaves a deeper scar open

You live alone in your world of colors

And every new cowboy won't be like the others

Gold-hearted Lady, halfhearted maybe

Gold-hearted Lady, they'll never

Understand why you needed their love

Gold-hearted Lady, the gypsy-eyed wild one

The easy hair-trigger on everyman's gun

You're nobody's fool, but then nobody wants you

You're every man's dream, but still nobody loves you

They neglect you, my friend

Like some freak at the fair

You're slow dyin' fire

Someone's unanswered prayer

Gold-hearted Lady, halfhearted maybe

Gold-hearted Lady, they'll never

Understand why you needed their love
