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   Man needs a maid   A maid      I wanna live, I wanna give   I've been a miner for a heart of gold   It's these expressions I never give      That keeps me searching for a heart of gold   And I'm getting old   Keeps me searching 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 searching for a heart of gold   And I'm getting old   Keeps me searching for a heart of gold   And I'm getting old      I wanna live, I wanna give   I've been a miner for a heart of gold      And when will I see you again?
