I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid Find a place nearby for her to stay Just someone to keep my house clean Fix my meals and go away Afraid A man feels afraid Afraid It's hard to make that change When life and love turn strange And cold To live a love You gotta give a love To give a love You gotta be part of And when will I see you again? A while ago somewhere I don't know when I was watching a movie with a friend I fell in love with the actress She was playing a part I could understand A maid A man needs a maid A maid I want to live I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold It's these expressions I never give That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold And I'm gettin’ old Keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold And I'm getting old I've been to Hollywood I've been to Redwoods I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold I've been in my mind It's such a fine line That keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold And I'm getting old Keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold And I'm getting old I want to live I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold And when will I see you again?
