It's over before it starts, oh don't you know
So on your marks, standby, ready, go
From London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo
I see visions of her everywhere i go

What have i become (i become), now that i'm alone
I'm just looking for, a way to break through these walls
I'm just looking, for a place that i can call my home
Is anybody out there got a soul, cuzim just lookin' for a girl
The girl with the heart of gold

She overturns once again with her, oh with her champagne taste,
She goes straight down the rat hole
With her total recklessness, tomorrow will come on through
And i got nothing but a silhouette girl, met her in darkness, and i say

What have i become (i become), now that i'm alone
I'm just looking for, a way to break through these walls
I'm just looking, for a place that i can call my home
Is anybody out there got a soul, cuzim just lookin' for a girl
The girl with the heart of gold
Ya know, i'm just lookin' for the girl, the girl with the heart of gold

Yeah i'm in a corner, i start over, start the whole thing clean
All the pain and heartache in all my years, i was always to blame
I dream of this girl, yeah an angelic ghost, met her in my neighborhood
I'm a downtown member at a drug lot, don't let me be misunderstood
I'm a downtown member at a party lot, don't let me be misunderstood

I'm just looking for, a way to break through these walls
I'm just looking, for a place that i can call my home
Is anybody out there got a soul, ya know,
I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with the heart of gold
I'm just lookin' for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold of gold
