I forgot what you looked like
I forgot your skin
I wanted to stand up
And make you a mountain.
I wanted to gather,
Some stars in my hand.
And drop them before you,
Like they were sand.
'Cus I wanted you glowing,
So you could see...
What I'm seeing.
When I behold you,
But I forgot your skin
Now I'm not a rich man,
But I just had to prove,
So I gathered some gold dust,
And I flung it on you.
But you're finer than gold,
You're finer than gold.
You're finer than gold.
'Cus gold doesn't suit you.
Not on your skin.
Like a drunk in the morning,
Just doesn't fit in.
So happy birthday,
I don't have a gift.
I spent all my money,
Only have this...
You're finer than gold.
You're finer than gold.
You're finer than gold.
So now I sit here,
Alone in my room.
Holding this necklace,
And thinking of you.
I just want to break it,
Dig it a hole.
I know you forgive me,
'Cus how could I know?
You're finer than gold.
