Yesterday, I met a boy so punk-fine
Right away I knew he'd captivate my mind
So smart, the kind I dream about
Bring it together, we could really scream and shout
I showed him to some friends of mine
They said "Boy, don't waste your time
That boy's no good for you
He's ugly
He's silly
Way uncool, boy"
I said,
"Listen, girls, I'm telling you
I think it's time you knew that"
All that's gold don't glitter
Everything you see
Isn't what it seems to be
[No, oh, oh]
Oh, no oh
All that's gold don't glitter
Sometimes we make the mistake
Of thinking everything that don't look too good aint great
We all seem to go for what shines
And then we leave all of the other things behind
Some people always give a show
'cause it's the only way that they know
But you don't have to play that game
because the
Only thing that matters
Is what's inside your heart
All that's gold don't glitter
Everything you see
Isn't what it seems to be
[No, oh, oh]
Oh, no oh
All that's gold don't glitter
[oh, oh]
So here's my advice to you
[oh, oh]
Everything you see's not always true
[oh, oh]
Take the time to look inside
And find out for yourself
What's really on their minds
All that's gold don't glitter
Everything you see
Isn't what it seems to be
[No, oh, oh]
Oh, no oh
All that's gold don't glitter
