1. How good or bad, happy or sad
Does it have to get?
Losing yourself, no cry for help
You don't think you need it.

And old friends are just a chore
But now you need them more than ever before.

[Chorus:]
All that glitter and all that gold
Won't buy you happy
When you've been bought and sold
Riding white horses, you can't control
With all your glitter
And all of your gold
Take care of your soul
Take care of your soul.

2. How high, how low, how on your own
Are you gonna get?
Because
Losing your soul, will cost you more
Than the life you're paying for.

And all those friends you left behind
You might need 'em when it's cold outside.

[Chorus:]
All that glitter and all that gold
Won't buy you happy
When you've been bought and sold
Riding white horses, you can't control
With all your glitter
And all of your gold
Take care of your soul.

3. One day you're gonna wake up and find that
New dream is losing its shine and
Nobody is by your side
When the rain comes down and you're losing your mind.

So, who you gonna run to?
Where you gonna hide?
Glitter and gold
Won't keep you warm
On those lonely nights.

And all those friends that were such a chore
You're gonna need them more than ever before.

[Chorus:]
All that glitter and all that gold
Won't buy you happy
When you've been bought and sold
Riding white horses, you can't control
With all your glitter
And all of your gold
Take care of your soul
With all of your gold
Take care of your soul
Take care of your soul.
