18 karat gold wouldn't fill the hole   The bleeding hole in her heart   That's made from circumstances at home   Because they kept pulling her hair   And so it choked her words   She don't sleep at night, afraid to turn out the light   And she's home      I thought 18 karat gold would save a lonely soul   But she don't sleep at night, afraid to turn out the light   Cause they kept pulling her hair   Wouldn't leave her alone   But if only I could read her mind   And release that stone      In her heart where the sadness grows   I'd operate with this knife   And cut a big fat giant hole   To fill with gold and light      But there's an endless battle to be won   And me I ain't a man with an educated mind   And soon, you won't have the strength to carry on   So you scream about it in the night      In the night....      My 18 karat gold, it fills a dirty hole   A dirty bleeding hole in my heart   You people think it's made from circumstances at home   Well if someone ever should be pulling your hair   Then I guess you should leave them alone   And now you want me to read your mind   And release that stone      That stone in your heart where the sadness grows   You know I, I'd operate with this knife   And cut a big fat giant hole   To fill with gold and light      But there's an endless battle to be won   And me I ain't a man with an educated mind   And soon, you won't have the strength to carry on   So you scream about it in the night      There's an endless battle to be won   And me I ain't a man with an educated mind   And soon, you won't have the strength to carry on   So you scream about it in the night      In the night....
