Lyric Fool s Gold

(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, 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)
