Growing up isn′t easy to do
Especially for one who always knew
You would always come up second best
Is that why you have such bitterness?
The apple of your father's eye
And always by your brother′s side
Then a little sister came along
And you found all the affection suddenly gone
But underneath the cold exterior
I know you've got a heart of gold
So aloof, so superior
But you've got a heart of gold
Watch out! Don′t get caught in the crossfire
Watch out! She′s still growing up
She's in a rage, I guess she′s reached that difficult age
Growing up is very hard to do
Everybody watching your every move
Your private life always on view
But jealousy never really suited you
But I know that underneath the crude exterior
There's gotta be a heart of gold
Underneath that hard exterior
Is a little girl waiting to be told
You′ve got a heart of gold
She's got a heart of gold
I couldn′t understand your attitude
I only wanted to take a photograph of you
And I was shocked when I heard what you had to say
You picked up my camera and threw it away
I didn't really mean to ruin your day
Now I see you've got a little girl of your own
Little princess suddenly grown
And there′s her man, he′s smiling at you
He must have been the one who always knew
You had a heart of gold
Underneath the crude exterior
You've got a heart of gold
So aloof, so superior
But you′ve got a heart of gold
Underneath the crude exterior
You've got a heart of gold
Underneath that hard exterior
You′ve got a heart of gold
Watch out! She'll give you a broadside
But out on the inside
