I was just a kid in school maybe 9 or 10 I guess
I only had a friend or two I was never teacher's pet
I'd be staring out the window at that old cyclone fence
Watching the light dance silvery sun trance
It's still what I do best
'Cause all that glitters could be gold
I never believed what I was told
How am I supposed to see
With mirror ball spinning around me
I might be dancing out of time
Jumping from your song back to mine
Lord forgive me of my sins
Oh I do love shiny things
I was just a girl in love at least that's what I thought I guess
I had a shiny brand new heart and my sweet grandmother's dress
And it could have been forever like the diamond in that ring
But my heart didn't listen to what didn't glisten
And I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause all that glitters could be gold
I never believed what I was told
How am I supposed to see
With mirror ball spinning around me
I might be dancing out of time
Jumping from your song back to mine
Lord forgive me of my sins
Oh I do love shiny things
Wish I could tell that kid in school everything's going to be alright
Take a chance and play the fool and stand in your own spotlight
And it won't take forever 'till it's your song you sing
Keep turning your head and never regret
Love and shiny things
'Cause all that glitters could be gold
I never believed what I was told
How am I supposed to see
With mirror ball spinning around me
I might be dancing out of time
Jumping from your song back to mine
Lord forgive me of my sins
Oh I do love shiny things
Love and shiny things
