You're a good woman and a good friend You've got a good heart, even when it's busted and bent Lipstick and perfume, underground queen Wearing loneliness like a costume for the whole world to see But if your money runs out And your good looks fade May your kindness remain Oh, may your kindness remain ♪ Broke on a barstool, throwing your paycheck away On overpriced booze, slots, and valet Fortune might buy you diamonds, all shiny and new But it can't buy you happiness or love, that is true So if your money runs out And your good looks fade May your kindness remain Oh, may your kindness remain ♪ The richest of people aren't rich with houses, cars, or fame No, they're not rich with something that can be bought or arranged No, it's kindness that makes them beautiful And a kind heart don't cost a dime It's a gift that keeps giving for the rest of your life So if your money runs out And your good looks fade May your kindness remain Oh, may your kindness remain Oh, may your kindness remain May your kindness remain
