[Verse 1]
  GRich girl, she Ambuys her dreams
  CIt's a rich world, beGhind the scenes
  GGreen eyes, they Amtell it all
The more she Ctakes, the Dharder they fGall
[Verse 2]
 GNow she ain't easy, Amshe ain't tough
 CShe's had it good but then she's Ghad it rough
  GBut I guess it don't Amcome to much
 CBut all she's got, she Dain't got enough
[Chorus]
So she'll Gcry just a little for a Amfew dollars more
She'll Clie just a little like she's Gdone it before
She'll Gtake it, she'll fake it, for a Amfew dollars more
She'll Cshow you her Dheart, then
She'll Cshow you the Ddoor
You know she'll Gdie just a little for a Amfew dollars more
Even Cfly just a little like she's Gdone it before
She'll Gtake it, she'll fake it, for a Amfew dollars more
She'll Cshow you her Dheart, then
She'll Cshow you the Ddoor
[Verse 3]
  GStrange things can Amhappen to you
 CWhen you got so much, you got Gnothin' to do
  GOhhh, Amwhat do ya know
  CHow do you get there, when there's Gnowhere to go
[Instrumental]
Am   G   Am   G

[Verse 4]
 GAnd so you wonder, just Amwhat she'll do
  CShe's never known love, but then she'Gs never known you
  GAnd it's too bad thoAmse sad green eyes
That were Cso full of questions, are Dso full of lies
[Chorus]
And she'll Gcry just a little for a Amfew dollars more
She'll Clie just a little like she's Gdone it before
She'll Gtake it, she'll fake it, for a Amfew dollars more
She'll Cshow you her Dheart, then
She'll Cshow you the Ddoor
You know she'll Gdie just a little for a Amfew dollars more
Even Cfly just a little like she's Gdone it before
She'll Gtake it, she'll fake it, for a Amfew dollars more

She'll Cshow you her Dheart, then
She'll Cshow you the Ddoor
You know she'll Gdie just a little for a Amfew dollars more
Even Cfly just a little like she's Gdone it before

The story behind the song

This Smokie track delves into a poignant observation about a "rich girl" who "buys her dreams," yet finds little true fulfillment. The song suggests a certain coldness, where she might "show you the door" and only "cry just a little for a few dollars more," hinting at a life where money dictates emotion and connection. Written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, and produced by Chapman, this song was the first single from Smokie's 1978 album, The Montreux Album. It paints a picture of the emotional cost of wealth when it replaces genuine feeling.
