Golden Boys Lyrics by Res

How I Do

2001

[Verse 1]
Why are you selling dreams of who you wish you could be
A prince in all of the magazines
They have no words for the man I’ve seen
You talk real fast 'fore they see your face
But would they love you if they knew all the things we know
We got these images
We need them to be true
Not ready to believe we're no more insecure than you
[Pre-Chorus]
But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
[Chorus]
Now would they love you if we knew all the things that we know
Those golden boys are all a fraud
Don't believe their show
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy
Life ain't a video
[Post-Chorus]
But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
Golden boys
[Verse 2]
Place you in these robes and tell you you're the greatest man
And you believe in playing cards
Got dealt a winning hand
Don't you get tired of the show
The kissing ass of all the people that you wanna know
When I was young I thought you had it won
I saw you on TV, you made life look fun and yeah
Years go by and people grow
I realize it's all a freak show
[Pre-Chorus]
But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
[Chorus]
Now would they love you if we knew all the things that we know
Those golden boys are all a fraud
Don't believe their show
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy
Life ain't a video
[Post-Chorus]
But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
Golden boys
[Bridge]
Girls like me don’t need no bubbling mindstate throwing in my face
Girls like me don’t need no bubbling mindstate thrown up in my face
Though where you going ain’t gonna be no stroll in the sunshine
Can’t turn it back now baby you gone and pass that line
Girls like me we give it on up now, so give it on up now
So what you gonna do
[Pre-Chorus]
But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see (Yeah, yeah)
We know the truth about you (We know the truth)
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
[Chorus]
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
Those golden boys are all a fraud
Don't believe their show
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy
Life ain't a video
[Post-Chorus]
But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see (Yeah, yeah)
We know the truth about you (We know the truth)
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
[Chorus]
Now would they love you (Would they love you?) if they knew all the things that we know (Would they love you?)
Those golden boys are all a fraud (How would they love you?)
Don't believe their show (I want to know they gonna love you)
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy
Life ain't a video
[Outro]
But then there's girls like me who sit appalled
