You're a good woman, and a good friend
You've got a good heart, even when it's busted and bent
Lipstick and perfume, underground queen
Wearing loneliness like a costume, for the whole world to see
And if your money runs out, and your good looks fade
May your kindness remain
Broke on a barstool, throwing your paycheck away
On overpriced booze, slots, and valet
Fortune might buy you diamonds, all shiny and new
But it can't buy you happiness, or love that is true
And if your money runs out, and your good looks fade
May your kindness remain
The richest of people aren't rich with houses, cars, or fame
No, they're not rich with something that can be bought, or arranged
No, it's kindness that makes them beautiful
And a kind heart don't cost a dime
It's a gift that keeps giving, for the rest of your life
And if your money runs out, and your good looks fade
May your kindness remain
