Rich Girl
Daryl & John Oates Hall Lyrics

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
You have a lot of money and you've taken it too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Because you think that money can solve all your problems

You can rely on the old man's money
You depend on your father's wealth to get what you want

You can rely on the old man's money
You use your father's money to get you out of trouble and buy what you want

It's a bitch girl but it's gone too far
You know it's not right but you continue to indulge in your father's money anyway

Say money but it won't get you too far,
You believe that money can solve all your problems but it can only do so much

Get you too far
Money will get you somewhere but not as far as you think

And don't you know, don't you know
You should know

That it's wrong to take what is given you
It's not right to depend on someone else's wealth to get what you want

So far gone, on your own
You're too deep into using your father's money to try to do anything on your own

You can get along if you try to be strong
You can do things on your own if you don't depend on your father's money

But you'll never be strong
You will never be strong if you keep relying on your father's wealth

'Cause
Because

High and dry, out of the rain
You will be helpless and vulnerable when your money runs out

It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
It's easy to hurt others when you don't have to worry about the consequences of your actions

And don't you know that a love can't grow
You can't have meaningful relationships when you only care about money

'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
Because there is too much focus on material things and not enough on relationships

For the thrill of it all, oh
Because you're addicted to the excitement and luxury that comes with having a lot of money

And you say
You keep saying

You can rely on the old man's money
You keep telling yourself that you can always depend on your dad's wealth

You can rely on the old man's money
You keep telling yourself that your father's money will always be there for you

You're a rich girl, a rich girl
You're a girl who has been given everything and has not had to work for anything

Oh, you're a rich rich girl yeah
You're an extremely wealthy girl who has never had to worry about anything

Say money but it won't get you too far,
Despite believing that money can solve all your problems, you will soon realize its limitations

Oh, get ya too far
You will get somewhere with money but not as far as you think
