I've got a story to tell you About a guy with a masterplan He's got fortune and glory He sold his soul to another man Now he's living on the top With all his money what has he got? His women and parties Twenty cabby on a big flat car
Rags to riches, when you go up you will come down Rags to riches, the price you pay they cost a lot
Good golly, Miss Molly She got a chance to be a fashion queen She was living the good life She had a chance to reach her grace Playboy and Penthouse And centerfold in the Ebony Hard times and past lives That's not the pain for her, you see
Rags to riches, when you go up you will come down Rags to riches, the price you pay they cost a lot
When you go up There's someone paving the way But when you come down Then you're right back where you started yesterday
R-I-C-H The price you pay they cost a lot You know what I mean, sure enough
Rags to riches, when you go up you will come down Rags to riches, the price you pay they cost a lot
When you go up There's someone paving the way But when you come down Then you're right back where you started yesterday
