[Verse 1]
She's a girl who likes her living
Never tired of always giving
Faceless men pay for the pleasure
And the nights go on and on

[Chorus]
Walking the streets
For a handful of money
Love don't come cheap
With a heart of gold
She's indiscreet
But to me, girl, it's funny
That they pay for the love
Of a girl with a pure heart of gold

[Verse 2]
She ain't hungry for a lover
And when it's over, there's another
Loneliness won't be a problem
When the nights go on and on

[Chorus]
Walking the streets
For a handful of money
Love don't come cheap
With a heart of gold
She's indiscreet
But to me, girl, it's funny
That they pay for the love
Of a girl with a pure heart of gold
[Bridge]
But something about her makes me cry
The light is fading from her eyes
Memories of girlish purity
Where love surrenders

[Verse 3]
(And the nights go on and on)

[Chorus]
Walking the streets
For a handful of money
Love don't come cheap
With a heart of gold
She's indiscreet
But to me, girl, it's funny
That they pay for the love
Of a girl with a pure heart of gold
When they pay for the love
Of a girl with a pure heart of gold

[Outro]
(No) Heart of gold
(Love) When they pay for the love
Of a girl with a pure heart of gold
(No) Heart of gold
(Oh, no, no) When they pay for the love
Of a girl with a pure heart of gold
(Heart of gold) Heart of gold
(She’s a girl who likes her living)
(Never tired of always giving...)
