Almost Golden Lyrics by Courtney Love

America’s Sweetheart (Japanese Bonus Track Version)

2004

[Intro]
How do the things I'll never do to you?
Oh, no, what you do, all the things I never do
[Verse]
Sorry 'bout the fire
Sorry 'bout the torch
Sorry I had to have my revenge
Send it in a note
Said you cannot go
Say you were sick, you can't get dressed
[Chorus]
Cover me in fire
Color me a liar
My dress is the prettiest
Cover me in burns
Everyone take a turn
Color me humiliated
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, my, oh, my baby, you do reflect the sun
And my, oh, my baby, you were almost golden
My, oh, my, oh, how you do reflect the sun, yeah
And my, oh, my baby, you were almost golden
[Verse 2]
Sorry 'bout the fire
Sorry 'bout the torch
Sorry I had to have my revenge
Send it in a note
Say you cannot come
Say you are still tied to the bed
[Chorus]
When's he gonna come?
When's he gonna spring?
When's he gonna crawl out in public?
When's he gonna come
Screaming "bombs away?"
When's he gonna kill me in this room?
[Bridge]
My, oh, my, he's in his glory, yeah
Watch him tear me down with such a vengeance
Hold on to me, yeah, baby, hold, hold on tight
Yeah, we'll just see which one of us gets out alive
Oh, honey do all the things I'll never do to you
[Chorus]
Cover me in fire
Cover me in lies
That's just your entertainment
Sorry I'm upset
Walked a mile behind
I was stuck and you stoned in a daze
[Outro]
And my, oh, my baby, you do reflect the sun
And my, oh, my, how you were almost golden, yeah
And my, oh, my, oh yeah you do reflect the sun
And my, oh, my baby, you were almost golden
