You're a good woman and a good friend You've got a good heart, even when it's busted
Lipstick and perfume, underground queen Wearing loneliness like a costume for the whole world to see
But if your money runs out and your good looks fade May your kindness remain, oh may your kindness remain
Broke on a barstool, throwing your paycheck away On overpriced booze, slots and valet
Fortune bought by diamonds, all shiny and new But it can't buy happiness with love that is true
So if your money runs out and your good looks fade May your kindness remain, oh may your kindness remain
Instrumental
The richest of people aren't rich with houses, cars or fame No, they're not rich with something that can be bought or arranged
No, it's kindness that makes them beautiful And a kind heart don't cost a dime It's a gift that keeps giving for the rest of your life
So if your money runs out and your good looks fade May your kindness remain, oh may your kindness remain
May your kindness remain
