Poor little rich girl, who could know
How jealosy hurts me so
I cry tears of gold
Poor little rich girl, sweet and kind
Misunderstood every time
I cry tears of gold
Just because I've got it all
And take things in my stride
And just because I'm beautiful 
Especially when I ride
You're always trying to compete
So don't get in too deep
Much as you try to measure up
Good breeding doesn't come cheap
But I'll set an example, be all that I can
The way I look, the way I ride
The way I am
If you open your eyes, you'll see
Shining inside of me
A frightened and caring girl
Just trying to be
So please don't hate me
I can't help who I am
And please open your heart
And be my friend, be my friend
Poor little rich girl, who could know
How jealosy hurts me so 
I cry tears of gold
Poor little rich girl, sweet and kind
Misunderstood every time
I cry tears of gold
Tears of gold
Tears of gold
Tears of gold
Tears of gold 
Tears of gold
Tears of gold
Tears of gold
Tears of gold
Tears of gold
