Day, Andra - Gold Lyrics
He don't know I call him the teacher
He had hard lessons for the kid
I get up, put you through hell
He put me under the same spell
He lied, man, he stressed me out
You loved me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heart aches,
Now I understand the pain
Oh, why did I let you drown
Baby, would you believe, that I've been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to what's his
You looked for a ring to fit
While I played wifey with a kid
Oh, the irony makes me sick
He tried to make me look crazy
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
I laugh when I think about his face
When truth nearly spilled out
He looked like me, I get that now
But, baby, would you believe that I've been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Ah, ah, ah, ah
But, baby, would you believe that I've been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand

A Masterpiece.
흐으으,, ㅠ 너무 좋아요 지금 들어도 너무 세련된 노래 ,,
Just found out what this song is called after hearing on the radio and finally deciding to look up every lyric i hear after my sister plays it...BEST SONG EVER(also deserves more views)
Favorite part of the song 3:00
I see the REAL Andra Day and now it’s real to me. 🏵💛
how can ppl dislike her music she is amazing. am gonna strive to be like her
The more I listen to Andra Day, the more I'm convinced that she should do the next Bond theme
She sounds like Sia
So amazing. So much talent.
Eli Manning stressed me out. 😂
been hearing this on the radio. intoxicating....
another Amy wanna be
Song🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Her voice is truly unique Jazz be blessed.
So many people saying she sounds like Amy Winehouse but her style goes deeper than that young lady, may she Rest In Peace. You guys need to listen to Billy Holiday. But Andra Day is very refreshing and I am loving her style. Classy.
When that hook hits your ears. Dope!
this song sounds like it was based off of Billie Holiday "You Let Me Down".... even the context of the song is similar... wow just realized that
love this song
If you say she stole Amy Winehouse's sound........you shouldn't even call yourself an Amy Winehouse fan.
Theirs a lot of J on this website J POWER👍❤😁 PLUS CHECK OUT YOU'RE MINE
IM SO IN LOVE IN THIS SONG I KEEP PLAYING OVER AND OVER!!!!😂😂👍👍👏🎉❤💍❄🌹🎶
Merece muito mais reconhecimento
eu te amo tanto
I have never heard this song. I must say wow 👍
She made me think of Amy Winehouse. They have similar voices
I wouldn't be surprised if this song was in the next James Bond movie.
My official favorite
I know I'm not the only one who thought that she sounded so much like Amy Winehouse.
Joydina Williams Right here.. her style; the funk in the music.
Amy Winehouse lives on through Andra day! what an unoriginal artist.😒
Poor form. Andra hits notes Amy never could. Will b a fan of Amy 4ever, but Andra is a better SINGER.
OK homie, you say her vocals are better, fine. But she stole Amy's style.
or she just writes the same genre/style of music but Amy was older and discovered first??
yeah! why does she sound like Amy Winehouse??
Any Winehouse Reincarnation much?
THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVORITE SONG OF THE YEAR! I CAN'T STOP PLAYING IT! I LOVE IT!
D
I had to put Wilkinsburg down with this go girl I love it
Ma chanson préféré avec 'rise up' Sa voix ...EXTRAORDINAIRE sexy et profonde !!! je l'adore ;-) UNIQUE à elle.
i heard this song on the radio as well at 3:30am and it jams.i had to Google who sang the song and the name.i will download it soon.i love the way she sings it and the lyrics.this song will soon be a classic
50 cal hhhh
Oh my she reminds me of Ertha Kit 👍🏽
yep.sure does and she almost sounds like her too.when she sings
Totally awesome
I can hear to her songs all dayyyy
Would love to hear the tracks the losers that disliked this listen to. Her voice is sublime.
I prefer cannibal corpse or napalm death for sure. Check them out.
I came up with Carcass. Napalm Death owes a lot to Carcass...but I'm too damn old and deaf to indulge in grindcore anymore! You will mellow out as Fatha Tyme begins to walk wif cha! My ears thank me now.
feels like something the neptunes beat
I can't believe I'm just hearing this. I love this!
love this song
I love her 😍. She reminds me of Amy whinehouse
winehouse*
Jasmine W - any wine house copied old time black music
I told my 6th girlfriend that she reminded me of my 2nd girlfriend. Well, that didn't work out so well!
heard it on the radio and was so shocked. Ik I should of listen to the whole album 😍
she reminds me of Amy winehouse.
Yessss i found it...love this song😍😍😍
amazing voice.
amazing voice.
I agree with you both about the Bond Theme.
Heard this on the radio and i lowkey freaked out... I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG..
I'M so OBSESSED with this song too
Lol I love that song
king15 same here
love this song
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
HEY GUYS I JUST POSTED A COVER OF THIS SONG. IT WOULD MEAN A LOT IF YOU COULD CHECK IT OUT.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
she's like Toney the tiger She's Greeeeeeeeat......
Red Martina is the group
she sounds like the lead singer of that group stoupe from JMT produces
This has become my favorite song by her. I truly wish her the best, because in the music business that pushes young women to act sexy to sell records and the R&B stations [and other stations] play the same formats. I've seen artists like her get lost in the shuffle, cause the record companies don't know how to market them, so you wind up losing artists with unique gifts & voices, like her. Hopefully Sia hears her one day and want to write for her, I think they would do well together or maybe Pharrell.
The Billie Holiday ( ladyday) of 2016!!!!!💗
I like when you can actually see her move
this beat and her voice rocks dust baby....#cthereal
She should do a bond theme
This is that good old blunt music...🙄😉
Andra Day sounds like Billie Holliday. That's who Amy Winehouse idolized and emulated in sound, too.
Very good song! I love it!
irie tune....nice vibes.
Loving this song Andra, it's definitely picking up speed in popularity on R&B radio. :-) Definitely would like to hear it on Pop stations also.
Heard this on the radio while I was driving and I literally pulled over to look it up so dope 💯👌 love her voice getting Amy Winehouse vibes
just did the same
+Heather Mathews Its great that there's still people making quality music not cheaply produced with catchy, carless lyrics
awesome song!!❤❤
like you.. mdhskdhsjbs
Future bond theme anyone??
Your voice....
Tell me this wouldn't be a great Bond theme. You can't.
THANK YOU! I'm glad I'm not the only one who got the spy vibe.
James Martin absolutely !!
Finally found a fix for my Amy Winehouse withdrawals!!
Kimberly Jade Yes- she did I'm glad she did it' just wish more black people would return to music like this!
YES YES YES #AlltheAmyfanssayAmen
Yooooooooooooooooooooooooo I feel ya sis
I was just going to comment that haha (:
Kimberly Jade Ikr
James Bond Theme. It's seriously giving me that vibe.
I hope on a featuring of her with Christina Aguilera. That would be legendary
I see the real now it's real to me...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm stuck to her
love her ❤ maybe because she has something that reminds me my idol .. AMY 💓💓💓💓
very nice song
wow! what lyrics
AHHH!!! This ole girl from the Stevie Wonder Xmas commercial! Such a soulful & sultry voice... May be late but I'm a sure fan NOW!!
Adele + Sia + Amy: Andra Day '-'
+Paulo Dos Reis Com certeza, amo as 3, agora uma mistura das 3, seria meu sonho ?
Really, she sounds like them
He don't know I call him the teacher
He had hard lessons for the kid
I could offer you true helly put me under the same spell
He lied and he stressed me out
You love me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heart aches,
now I understand the pain
Oh why did I let you drown
Baby, what you believe that I been broken
You say memories again and again
I see the real and it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to honesties
You look for a ring to fit,
while I played wify with the kids
Oh the irony makes me sick
He tried to make me look crazy
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
I laugh when I think about his face
when the truth now is spilled out
He looked like me I get that now
But Baby, what you believe that I been broken
You say memories again and again
I see the real and it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Ah, ah, ah, ah
But Baby, what you believe that I been broken
You say memories again and again
I see the real and it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands...
close but incorrect
OMG 😍🤗😍
That’s for most of the lyrics I couldn’t find a video on it :)
Lawd, I'm a fan !!! Amazing !
such a beautiful voice
your voice is amazing your style everything and you is just beautiful please take care of yourself may God bless, I heard you yesterday and Wendy Williams and I cannot stop playing your music I have my two daughters and my husband , listening to your music beautiful voice beautiful style wish you all the luck in the world!
She's better than Amy and Adele. The end.
there's no need to say who's better than who. each of them has unique voices and that's what matters.
The main reason I like this artist is because she fills the hole that Amy left. 😫
kayteeelle Yes- but Any wine house copied old time black music- wish more black people would return to music like this!
mslexii001 Epilogue: Amy dug this type of music back up and proved that modern music could also have heavy influences from the past. Therefore creating Adele and Andra Day. But I agree that Andra is better than Adele
These comments disputing Amy Winehouse's legacy (and the ones inflating it) are very interesting to me, especially since what we're actually hearing is NOT Amy Winehouse. We're hearing common influences from the Jazz era, specifically Dinah Washington. A direct influential person to both Amy and Andra.
I Love it!! ♥♥
Gorgeous and amazing voice. She is so talented!
she sounds like Amy winehouse and sia it beautiful.
❤❤❤
So mad Im just now finding out about this woman, her voice is so beautiful
I'm just finding her now!!!
I'm finding out now and I'm so pissed
Just amazing!! :)
Eargasms
Yes Andra take that Amy torch and RUN with it!
@BlackMusicGenre Good Ear. 👌🏾Her performance style reminds me a little bit of Shirley Bassey.
No, Amy Winehouse did not create this sound but you don't have to sit here and pretend like she didn't start this trend. Amy was definitely an icon BEFORE she died.
Yeah, but this sound goes back to the 1920s. Andra even said Billy Holiday and Eartha Kitt were her influences.
@Candice Blount Of course they are, and Andra also said Amy was an influence as well. Amy opened the door for singers like Andra and Adele by initiating the trend.
Kimberly Jade - but Any wine house copied black old time music- wish black people would return to music like this
any chance for a lyric? lovely song
Soulfulness mix with a modest Modern Twist her voice is just beautiful 😍
At 0:29 it sounds exactly the same as Billie Holiday's "You let me down" at 0:39... Coincidence?
+OnlyLoveCats Hay personas que solo quieren ver el mundo arder...
+OnlyLoveCats YUP!!!! I thought I was the only person picking that up. She had me up until that...
Beautiful!It's sound just like the live version! (Although,I liked the live version a bit better~) AWESOME
Stellar!
Essa é pesadíssima, quero no brasil já
Vem pro Brasil e faz um show pra mim <3
