Gold Diggers
Sanchez. Michael Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Must I memorize a book
To be considered wise
When I can look into your eyes?

Literature is such a bore
And mathematics too
I'd much prefer to learn about you
You're the only kind of knowledge
They don't teach at any college
You're an education in yourself

There are poems and romances
In the glamor of your glances
You're an education in yourself

Of all the famous dates in history
I recall but a few
The fourth of July
And my dates with you

You've a kiss that's scientific
Though it's tender it's terrific
You're an education in yourself

You're the kind of mental training
I could take without complaining
You're an education in yourself

Intricate as economics
Simple as the Sunday comics
You're an education in yourself

And there are geometric figures
In your beautiful curves
They're good on the eyes
But bad for the nerves

You are my encyclopedia
Let me take you home and read ya




You're an education in yourself
You're an education in yourself

Overall Meaning

In Michael's song "Gold Diggers," the singer is expressing his preference for learning from the person he loves rather than from books or academic subjects. He presents the idea that true wisdom can be found in the eyes of a loved one and that his partner is the only kind of knowledge that isn't taught in college.


The singer uses various metaphors to express his admiration for his partner's physical beauty and mental intelligence. He likens her to an encyclopedia, a scientific kiss, and an education that is both intricate and simple. The singer even suggests that there are geometric figures in his partner's curves.


The song's lyrics reveal the singer's desire to learn and grow from the person he loves rather than from traditional educational sources. This message could also be interpreted as a critique of the education system's tendency to prioritize memorization and theoretical knowledge over practical intelligence and emotional awareness.
