Once I loved a butterfly

Don't wonder how, don't ask me why

But I believed what I'd been told

'All things that glitter can't be gold'



Ooooo ooo yeah

All things that glitter can't be gold



Those jealous minds conspired to say

Just let that creature fly away

How can it be she has it all

Her pride is headed for a fall



Ooooo ooo yeah

All things that glitter can't be gold



Oh Lord, what races we run

Seeking our place in the Sun

Reaching and doping we'll find the right one



Now every day a new joy brings

My butterfly grew golden wings

It seems we find as we grow old

Some things that glitter may be gold



Ooooo ooo yeah

Some things that glitter may be gold 



So let us mind what's there to see

Before our hearts become too cold

In spite of all that we've been told

Some things that glitter may be gold



Ooooo ooo yeah

Some things that glitter may be gold



Ooooo ooo yeah

Some things that glitter



May be gold
