"Fool's Gold" lyrics

"Fool's Gold"

'Said I was gonna be a rich man
'Said I would go pretty far
'Said I was born to be lucky
Born underneath a good star
I knew all along you was lying
You sure made a fool out of me
I knew from the start you was lying
Apologise to me

'Cause all I found was...
Fools gold
Yeah now, fools gold
Yeah now, fools gold
Man, I was sure taken in

I told you a story of sadness
Of trickery, lies and deceiving
You said I should think of the future
Of honesty, truth and receiving
I knew all along you was lying
You treated me so bad
Well, I knew from the start you was lying
You cheated me so bad

'Cause all I found was...
Fools gold
Yeah now, fools gold
Yeah now, fools gold
Man, I was sure taken in

Well, I knew all along you was lying
You sure made a fool out of me
Yes, I knew from the start you was lying
Apologise to me

'Cause all I found was...
Fools gold
Yeah now, fools gold
Yeah now, fools gold
Man, I was sure taken in
