Golden Girl - Al Jarreau

Her home is a jungle

A struggle to survive

Her street’s too

Hot to handle

Makes your blood

Run cold as ice

But there’s no evil

Strong enough… oh no

Her faith in love will rise above

Keep on shinin' golden girl

Light a candle for the world

Take your fire from inside

Warm the darkness — light the night

Bring your heaven to the ground

Never let them tear it down

So much soul when you’re glowin'

Golden girl

Her heart cries out yearning

For those without a prayer

But the dues she pays unending

Is the cross she chose to bear

And there’s no evil

Strong enough… no no

Her faith in love will rise above

Keep on shinin' golden girl

Light a candle for the world

Take your fire from inside

Warm the darkness — light the night

Bring your heaven to the ground

Never let them tear it down

So much soul when you’re glowin'

Golden girl

And there’s no evil

Strong enough… no no

Her faith in love will rise above

Keep on shinin' golden girl

Light a candle for the world

Take your fire from inside

Warm the darkness — light the night

Bring your heaven to the ground

Never let them tear it down

So much soul when you’re glowin'

Golden girl

Won’t you keep on

Won’t you keep on

Won’t you keep on

Won’t you keep on

Keep on, keep on shining

Keep on shinin' golden girl

Light a candle for the world

Take your fire from inside

Warm the darkness — light the night

Bring your heaven to the ground

Never let them tear it down

So much soul when you’re glowin'

Golden girl
