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?
