You were my desire And I was your boy then I never knew what love was for You would never tire And I was so selfish, so sure And yet so insecure And we were young And just like truth It always swallows its own tongue And if it's golden Then you should hold it Never let it fall into the dirt And if it's golden Then you should own it Never let a love like that get hurt, oh, baby So pure, so rich There was no seven year itch And yet it was no masterpiece You can take all my books You can read all my thoughts You can have it all it's understood And we were dumb And just like truth It always seems to run out... And if it's golden Then you should hold it Never let a love like that get hurt And if it's golden Then try to uphold it Never let it fall into the dirt...
