Fool's Gold


If I only knew then what I know now
You wouldn't be sayin' goodbye
But I let you down, I was never around
When you needed me there by your side
I took a perfect love gave you a perfect heartache
I took a band of gold made a 24-carat mistake
turned it into...

CHORUS:
Fool's gold, yes I was a fool 'cause I let you go
Fool's gold, yes I was a fool 'cause I didn't know
Too many times I just didn't try
Now all I hear is you sayin' goodbye
Starin' at an empty hand full of fool's gold

If I'd spent the time just holdin' you tight
sharin' my feelings with you
Then you'd understand what's inside of this man
you'd know what I'm goin' through
I know that I was wrong now that it's too late
I took a band of gold made a 24-carat mistake
turned it into...

(chorus)
