All your life, you tried
to make yourself into
Something more, something more
than a child should ever go through

Now you're dancing on a wire
Dollars at your precious feet
Sweet object of desire,
How I wish that you could see,
You could see

You're already worth your weight in gold
You're already worth your weight in gold

When your baby starts to cry
You say, oh, no, no, it's gonna be all right.
'Cause this child is part of you,
and that means more than anything you been through

(you say) You're already worth your weight in gold
You can't be bought or sold
Already worth your weight in
Waiting…

For another night, another show
Pretty soon it all gets old
And all your left is heart
And soul...

Oh, you're dancing on a wire
Dollars at your precious feet
Sweet object of desire,
How l wish you could see, you could see

You're already worth your weight in gold
You can't be bought or sold
You're already worth your weight in gold
