Lee Greenwood - Fool's Gold lyrics

rate me

(Timmy Tappan/Don Roth)

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, and 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)
