I was thinkin' that maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay
Just someone to keep my house clean
Fix my meals and go away

Afraid a man feels afraid
Afraid

It's hard to make that change
When life and love turns strange and cold

To give a love you gotta live a love
To live a love you gotta be part of
And when will I see you again?

A while ago somewhere I don't know when
I was watchin' a movie with a friend
I fell in love with the actress
She was playing a part I could understand

A maid a man needs a maid
A maid a man needs a maid

I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwoods
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

And when will I see you again
