Glitter and Gold (feat. Anna Teers)

by CRIS CAP

/

about

A rich friend of mine told me that she was not sure about the love of her boyfriend anymore. When they met in 2019 they went to the glamorous parties her friends and family were giving, they were traveling and enjoying her wealth. Now in the pandemic they have to stay home - everything has changed. She is wondering: Is it me or just the money this man loves? My partner Anna Teers in Brooklyn really loved this story. She wrote the lyrics while I was arranging the music over here.

lyrics

It’s time we talked about
The way I love you
It seems like you just care
About my past

Was it the shiny things
That drew you to me
Or was the feeling true
When we kissed

I think of all the nights that you played me
I think of all the times you weren’t there
You love to come when I’m going somewhere
But if I’m staying home you’re not here

I want a real love, someone who cares
Not a boy who’s just a fool
You think you’re playing it cool, it’s under control
But I can see through you
If you can prove to me, that I’m what you want
Maybe I’ll let you in
But if you’re just in love, with the glitter and gold
Better find another girl

It’s like you're always
Waiting for some kind of deal
For the right hand
To be dealt so you spin the wheel

It’s time you realized
I got nothing to give you
Unless you wanna try
To turn around the way we’re going

I think of all the nights that you played me
I think of all the times you weren’t there
You love to come when I’m going somewhere
But if I’m staying home you’re not here

I want a real love, someone who cares
Not a boy who’s just a fool
You think you’re playing it cool, it’s under control
But I can see through you
If you can prove to me, that I’m what you want
Maybe I’ll let you in
But if you’re just in love, with the glitter and gold
Better find another girl

I’m over playing love, playin’ the part
You never wanted all of me
I hope you find a girl who hits the mark
Someone that makes you happy

I want a real love, someone who cares
Not a boy who’s just a fool
You think you’re playing it cool, it’s under control
But I can see through you
If you can prove to me, that I’m what you want
Maybe I’ll let you in
But if you’re just in love, with the glitter and gold
Better find another girl

CRIS CAP Düsseldorf, Germany

I am a songwriter/ pianist,
I absorbed all the RnB, soul and pop sounds I could, this music became my first love.
We've been celebrating with people in clubs and beaches all over europe with soul and RnB tunes. Eventually I felt it was time to focus on my own songs. Now it feels so good to collaborate with artists all over the globe.
There's loads more music coming soon. Follow me to stay on it. ... more
