Lyrics of
Rich Girl

Rich Girl by Daryl Hall and John Oates talks about a spoiled man and his dependency on his fathers money. Hall has admitted the inspiration came from a former roommate who was a fast-food heir. The song was originally written about a man but was changed to girl to make it more commercially viable.

You're a rich girl and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Get you too far just keep picking the 3rd fret on the D string for 2 measures here

And don't you know, don't you know I showed you up top. If that way is too hard,
That it's wrong to take what he's givin' you get away with playing a Dm7 there instead but H&O
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong

You're a rich girl and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Get you too far

High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all oh

You're a rich girl and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Say money but it won't get you too far,
And you say you can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
You're a rich girl a rich girl
ahh you're a rich rich girl
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Get you too far
