Through the Years: A Retrospective

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 wanna be the only one,
Fade away in the mornin' 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 wanna be
When you're searchin' 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 gotta get up,
You gotta 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 wanna be the last one in,
Play the game that you just don't win
I can see me makin' you cry, sayin' 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 wanna be
When you're searchin' 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're takin' my life in the palm of your hand,
Make you mine for another day
Ain't nobody doesn't need anybody
When the good times turn away.


I don't wanna be the lonely one,
Fade away in the evenin' 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
(Baby we don't need it)
We don't stand on ceremony
But life is phony in spite of it. (In spite of it.)


You can never be all you wanna be
When you're searchin' 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)
We don't need no buried treasure, we don't need it
(Baby we don't need it)
We don't stand on ceremony
But life is phony in spite of it.


(We don't stand on ceremony in spite of it)
You can never be all you wanna be
When you're searchin' for gold
(We don't need no buried treasure)
We don't need no buried treasure
I've 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)
We don't need no buried treasure, we don't need it
(Baby we don't need it)
We don't stand on ceremony but life...
