Now if the aim in your life is to settle me down, I couldn't change my point of view; I got a lady in red at the back of my head, But the woman in white is you. Do you want to be the only one, Fade away in the morning sun? I could love you all of my life; You are my wife; haven't I let you know? We don't need no buried treasure, No buried treasure; we don't need it. We don't stand on ceremony, But life is phony in spite of it. You can never be all you want to be When you're searching for gold; We don't need no buried treasure; I've still got you, still got you, still got you; I've still got you in my soul. Well, it's a long way down, and you've got to get up, You've got to figure on a master plan; You couldn't do it; if you don't get ready, You'll be beaten by the other man. Do you want to be the last one in; Play the game that you just don't win? I can see me making you cry, saying goodbye, But I could never let you go. We don't need no buried treasure, No buried treasure; we don't need it. We don't stand on ceremony, But life is phony in spite of it. You can never be all you want to be When you're searching for gold; We don't need no buried treasure; I've still got you, still got you, still got you; I've still got you in my soul. Well, you've taken my life in the palm of your hand â?? Make you mine for another day; There ain't nobody that doesn't need anybody When the good times turn away. I don't want to be the lonely one, Fade away in the evening sun; I could love you all of my life; You are my wife; haven't I told you so? We don't need no buried treasure, No buried treasure; we don't need it. We don't stand on ceremony, But life is phony in spite of it. You can never be all you want to be When you're searching for gold; We don't need no buried treasure; I've still got you, still got you, still got you; I've still got you in my soul. We don't need it, we don't need it We don't need no buried treasure, No buried treasure; we don't need it. We don't stand on ceremony, But life is phony in spite of it. You can never be all you want to be When you're searching for gold; We don't need no buried treasure; I've still got you, still got you, still got you; I've still got you in my soul.
