Fool`s Gold Lyrics

Fool`s Gold lyrics

(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)
