lyrics

Stripper with a Heart of Gold

I remember we were on a train
she told me about a sick kid in Queensland
She’d heard about his condition
thought to herself I think I've got a plan
She hopped onto a plane at her expense but not in vain and went to visit him in hospital and both of their lives changed
To her he was a hero, to him a goddess
he had plenty of flowers and gifts but this
get well present was the best

She is a stripper with a heart of gold
dancing up and down the pole, anybody with a bad word they can say it, it’ll roll right off her back with all the money she making

A few years later things had hit the skids
packed her shit and went to her homeland
a Caribbean island where her family lived, she hadn't been for years
She hopped onto a plane not knowing quite what to expect, a welcoming hug from her family and zero judgement
Planning took so long, she realized there was more so she changed her course but never could have guessed what her life had in store

She is a stripper with a heart of gold
Into her work she puts her heart and soul
Her itty bitty undies on the stage wearing nothing but a smile on her face
She is a stripper with a heart of gold
dancing up and down the pole, anybody with a bad word they can say it, it’ll roll right off her back with all the money she making and

She's got a shady past, knew that it would never last, she's a life coach now and she's managed to kick the habit
Into positivity uncanny flexibility she's making guys happy all round this country and overseas but her favorite time of all is when the guitarist plays a solo

She met her Prince Charming and got all her flights for free traveling the world and practicing naturopathy
To her he was a hero to him a goddess, the fairytale she dreamt of was complete only they know the rest

She is a stripper with a heart of gold
Into her work she puts her heart and soul
Her itty bitty undies on the stage wearing nothing but a smile on her face
She is a stripper with a heart of gold
dancing up and down the pole, anybody with a bad word they can say it, it’ll roll right off her back with all the lives she's changing and they'll wanna take it back
She is a stripper with a heart of gold
