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 that 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, 
Everyone watching your every move. 
Your private life always on view, 
But jealously never really suited you. 
But I know that 

Underneath that rude exterior, 
There's got to 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, 
But I was shocked when I heard what you had to say. 
You picked up my camera, 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 certainly grown, 
And there's a man, he's smiling at you. 
He must have been the one who always knew. 
You had a heart of gold. 

Underneath that rude exterior, 
You've got a heart of gold. 
So aloof, so superior, 
But you've got a heart of gold. 
Underneath that rude exterior, 
You've got a heart of gold. 
Underneath that hard exterior, 
You've got a heart of gold.

The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country. Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) remained members throughout the group's 32-year run. Original members Pete Quaife (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Avory (drums and percussion) were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively. Dalton was in turn replaced by Jim Rodford in 1978. Keyboardist Nicky Hopkins accomp… more »
