"For A Few Dollars More" lyrics

For A Few Dollars More

Rich girl, she buys her dreams
It's a rich world behind the scenes
Green eyes, they tell it all
The more she takes
The harder they fall

Life, she ain't easy
She ain't tough
She's had it good
But then she's had it rough
And I guess it don't come to much
With all she's got
She ain't got enough

So she'll cry just a little
For a few dollars more
She'll lie just a little
Like she's done it before
She'll take it
She'll fake it
For a few dollars more
She'll show you her heart
Then she'll show you the door

You know she'll die just a little
For a few dollars more
Even fly just a little
Like she's done it before
She'll take it
She'll fake it
For a few dollars more
She'll show you her heart
Then she'll show you the door

Strange things can happen to you
When you've got so much
And you've got nothing to do
Oh-oh, what do you know?
How do you get there
When there's nowhere to go?

And so you wonder
Just what she'll do
She's never known love
Then she's never known you
And it's too bad
Those sad green eyes
Are so full of questions
Are so full of lies

And she'll cry just a little
For a few dollars more
She'll lie just a little
Like she's done it before
She'll take it
She'll fake it
For a few dollars more
She'll show you her heart
Then she'll show you the door

You know she'll die just a little
For a few dollars more
Even fly just a little
Like she's done it before
She'll take it
She'll fake it
For a few dollars more
She'll show you her heart
Then she'll show you the door

You know she'll cry just a little
For a few dollars more
She'll lie just a little
Like she's done it before
She'll take it
She'll fake it
For a few dollars more
She'll show you her heart
Then she'll show you the door

You know she'll die just a little
For a few dollars more
Even fly just a little
Like she's done it before
She'll take it
She'll fake it
For a few dollars more
She'll show you her heart
Then she'll show you the door

You know she'll cry just a little
For a few dollars more
She'll lie just a little
Like she's done it before
