You can go away and leave me, I don't want your type around,
You scheme always for money and you twist my friends around.
I loved you but that's over, it can never be retold
Go and seek your gilded mansion, your riches and your gold.
For there's a certain kind of gold you only find in your true friends,
It's the only kind of gold you take with you when this world ends,
So I'd rather have a life of love to remember when I’m old
But if you'd rather have them, take your riches and your gold.
I don't want your kind of livin' that you're livin' every day,
I don't want to have this mansion when our hair is turnin' grey,
I'll keep true friends around me, and be part of that fold,
And I'll have my kind of mansion and a certain kind of gold.
For there's a certain kind of gold you only find in your true friends,
It's the only kind of gold you take with you when this world ends,
So I'd rather have a life of love to remember when I’m old
But if you'd rather have them, take your riches and your gold.
But if you'd rather have them, take your riches and your gold.
