Gold is a deep song by Prince and very poetic.It is not a love song but a song with a message that all that glitters isnt gold.It has a smooth unique flow and sound and its easy to listen to.

There's a mountain & it's mighty high You cannot see the top unless you fly And there's a molehill of proven ground There ain't no where to go if you hang around Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold Everybody wants to tell what's already been told What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire there is cold All that glitters ain't gold All that glitters ain't gold, mmm.....

The greatest romance that's ever been sold So what do you know, you and me Finally face to face Checking each other up and down In all of the obvious places Was there ever a reason for us to be apart? The air that fills up this room says, "not hardly" So this is where you end, and you and I begin ... (That's where you and I, you and I begin) The greatest romance that's ever been sold The greatest romance that's ever been sold
