14 Karat Gold (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you see me smile don't think I'm actin' strange
I got my just reward for all my pains
If you see me on the TV talkin' proud
Please understand if I don't talk too loud

[Chorus]
Step around and dance a bit
Polish up the dice
Shake 'em loose and let 'em roll
Be as cool as ice
Keep your mind a mystery
Runnin' hot 'n' cold
She's more than money
She's fourteen karat gold

[Verse 2]
If you wonder why I'm acting up this way
Gonna cash my chips, I'm leavin' town today
I got more love than I could ever spend
So long, farewell, goodbye, this is the end

[Chorus]
Step around and dance a bit
Polish up the dice
Shake 'em loose and let 'em roll
This is my advice
Keep your mind a mystery
Runnin' hot 'n' cold
She's more than money
She's fourteen karat gold, sold
Keep your mind a mystery
Runnin' hot 'n' cold
She's more than money
She's fourteen karat gold

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
