[Chorus]
Been having bad times and I've been paying dues
Got shoes and money and good friends, too
Always play to win and always seem to lose
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues

[Verse]
And I know what is going on
And I know, but I'll wait 'til dawn, yeah
And I know just exactly what is on your mind
Jumping back, I know if I'm still gonna lose you, yeah

[Bridge]
But I'm wondering why, girl, did I ask your name?
And all the people standing by, I thought they're in my game
Love's just a story, a story without words
Words are almost never seen and never even heard

[Verse]
I know what is going on
And I know that I'll wait 'til dawn
And I know just exactly what is on your mind
Jumping back, I know it's all a rut, do you want me to prove it to you

[Chorus]
Though my good times are just paying dues
I've got shoes and money and good friends, too
Though I always play to win, I always seem to lose
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
[Outro]
I know what's going on
I know what's going on
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
