Buried Treasure

(album: Eyes That See In The Dark - 1983)

Now if the aim in your life is to settle me down I couldn't change my point of view
I got a lady in red at the back of my head but the woman in white is you
Do you wanna be the only one, fade away in the morning sun
I could love you all of my life, you are my wife, haven't I let you know-ow

We don't need no buried treasure, no buried treasure, we don't need it
We don't stand on ceremony but life is phony in spite of it
You can never be all you wanna be when you're searching for gold
We don't need no buried treasure, I've still got you (still got you, still got you)
I've still got you in my sou-ou-oul

Well it's a long way down and you gotta get up, you gotta figure on a master plan
You couldn't do it, if you don't get ready, you'll be beaten by the other man
Do you wanna be the last one in, play the game that you just don't win
I can see me making you cry, saying goodbye, but I could never let you go-o

We don't need no buried treasure, no buried treasure, we don't need it
We don't stand on ceremony but life is phony in spite of it
You can never be all you wanna be when you're searching for gold
We don't need no buried treasure, I've still got you (still got you, still got you)
I've still got you in my sou-ou-oul

Well you're taking my life in the palm of your hand, make you mine for another day
Ain't nobody doesn't need anybody when the good times turn away
I don't wanna be the lonely one, fade away in the evening sun
I could love you all of my life, you are my wife, haven't I told you so-o

We don't need no buried treasure, no buried treasure, we don't need it
(Baby we don't need i-i-it)
We don't stand on ceremony but life is phony in spite of it
(In spite of i-i-it)
You can never be all you wanna be when you're searching for gold
We don't need no buried treasure, I've still got you (still got you, still got you)
I've still got you in my sou-ou-oul
We don't need it, we don't need it

(We don't need no buried treasure) we don't need no buried treasure, we don't need it
(Baby we don't need it)
We don't stand on ceremony but life is phony in spite of it
(We don't stand on ceremony in spite of it)
You can never be all you wanna be when you're searching for gold
(We don't need no buried treasure) We don't need no buried treasure
I've still got you (still got you) I've still got you in my sou-ou-oul
We don't need it, we don't need it
(We don't need no buried treasure) we don't need no buried treasure, we don't need it
(Baby we don't need it)
We don't stand on ceremony but life
