[00:00.98]
[00:16.53]If tears were dollar bills
[00:19.00]
[00:20.15]I'd be a millionaire
[00:21.53]
[00:22.99]If pain was real estate
[00:25.24]
[00:26.82]I'd be Piccadilly Square
[00:28.88]
[00:31.08]If scars were silver bars
[00:33.59]
[00:34.32]I'd be the best dressed chick in town
[00:36.99]
[00:38.01]Am I the fool who's passing for a clown
[00:42.38]
[00:45.02]If heartaches were made of silk
[00:47.65]
[00:49.25]I'd be softer than a sigh
[00:51.35]Like and human kindness milk
[00:55.19]
[00:56.07]I'd have the whole world supplied
[00:58.81]

[01:31.92]
[01:33.51]Down in me and says
[01:35.93]Keep on living living by the golden rule
[01:41.36]
[01:43.67]So why should mother fight
[01:45.79]
[01:47.96]If misery seems to be
[01:49.96]
[01:52.03]If troubles seems the height of a sweet stupidity
[01:57.19]
[01:59.26]For on some given night
[02:00.93]
[02:02.14]He just might make it back to be
