(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...
|
|
