It's over before it starts  
Oh don't you know  
So on your marks and stand by 
Ready, go  
From London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo 
I see visions of her everywhere I go 
What have I become? 
Now that I'm all alone  
 
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and 
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and 
Is anybody out there got a soul? 
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl 
The girl with a heart of gold  
 
She always ? once ? count with her champagne case 
She goes straight down the rathole with her 
Total recklessness and 
Tomorrow will come on through 
And I got nothing but a barely mentioned 
Nothing but a sillouette girl 
Met her in darkness 
I say  
 
What have I become? 
Now that I'm all alone  
 
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and 
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and 
Is anybody out there got a soul? 
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl 
The girl with a heart of gold 
I said I'm just looking for a girl 
The girl with a heart of gold  
 
Yeah I'm in the corner I start over 
I start the whole slate clean 
All the pain and heartache in all my years 
I was always to blame 
And I dream of this girl  
Yeah an angelical ghost 
I met her in my neighborhood 
I'm a downtown member ? 
Don't let me be misunderstood 
Oh, I'm a downtown member ? 
Don't let me be misunderstood  
 
Heart of gold!!!  
 
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and 
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and 
Is anybody out there got a soul  
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl  
The girl with a heart of gold  
 
I said I'm just looking for a girl  
The girl with a heart of gold
