Lyrics
0:14Listen to the people now Hold back your diamonds and pearls
0:26Hold back your California Girls
0:35Your prescriptions and your limousines
0:42Hold back Hold back Hold back your influential friends
1:05For they are really not my type
1:37Hold back your diamonds and pearls
1:40'Cause the attraction's no good to me
1:45Hold back your California Girls
1:48Your prescriptions and your limousines
1:53Hold back your influential friends
1:56For they are really not my type
1:59'Cause just as long as I've got my baby
2:03I'll be alright
2:07I'll be alright
2:09Despite all the finer things
2:12She'd have if she were monied
2:13Like a rich girl
2:15I'll be alright
2:17Despite all the candy coloured things
2:19The things that are so untrue
2:25Hold back your perfumes so rare
2:27'Cause she smells like a rose untorn
2:32Hold back your designer underwear
2:35She's a beauty just the way she was born
2:38She may not move like Fred Astaire
2:43But her gingerly walk is out of sight
2:46'Cause just as long as I've got my baby
2:50I'll be alright
2:54I'll be alright
2:56Despite all the finer things
2:59She'd have if she were monied
3:01Like a rich girl
3:02I'll be alright
3:04Despite all the candy coloured things
3:07The things that are so untrue
3:24Listen to me
3:26I'll be alright
3:28Despite all the finer things
3:30She'd have if she were monied
3:31Like a rich girl
3:33I'll be alright
3:36Despite all the candy coloured things
3:38The things that are so untrue
3:41I'll sing it for the last time y'all
3:43Hold back your critical reviews
3:46'Cause my baby don't need the hype
3:50We're happy just to pay our little dues
3:54So get movin' get on your bike
3:57If I can hold on and keep my baby
4:01If I can just hold on and keep my baby
4:05If I can just hold on and keep my baby
4:09I'll be alright
Listen to the people now Hold back your diamonds and pearls Hold back your California Girls Your prescriptions and your limousines Hold back Hold back Hold back your influential friends For they are really not my type Hold back your diamonds and pearls 'Cause the attraction's no good to me Hold back your California Girls Your prescriptions and your limousines Hold back your influential friends For they are really not my type 'Cause just as long as I've got my baby I'll be alright I'll be alright Despite all the finer things She'd have if she were monied Like a rich girl I'll be alright Despite all the candy coloured things The things that are so untrue Hold back your perfumes so rare 'Cause she smells like a rose untorn Hold back your designer underwear She's a beauty just the way she was born She may not move like Fred Astaire But her gingerly walk is out of sight 'Cause just as long as I've got my baby I'll be alright I'll be alright Despite all the finer things She'd have if she were monied Like a rich girl I'll be alright Despite all the candy coloured things The things that are so untrue Listen to me I'll be alright Despite all the finer things She'd have if she were monied Like a rich girl I'll be alright Despite all the candy coloured things The things that are so untrue I'll sing it for the last time y'all Hold back your critical reviews 'Cause my baby don't need the hype We're happy just to pay our little dues So get movin' get on your bike If I can hold on and keep my baby If I can just hold on and keep my baby If I can just hold on and keep my baby I'll be alright
