A Fool & His Money

The longer love survives

The more it's easy to be blind

When it is obvious it's over

I put my trust in you

I spent my love and I thought I knew

But now things just don't look the same

I paid the price with a love I thought was strong

Counting on you I was wrong

Chorus:

Just like a fool and his money

Just like a fool, I let it slip away

Just like a fool and his money

All the love has gone

You think everything's all right

But love can change that all over night

And the hand you hold is colder

And then your fortunes fade

You really need the gold that you've thrown away

And all you believed in has changed

I paid the price for leaving love to chance alone

Now I know this bird has flown

Repeat chorus

As the rain pours down in a starless night

And my heart longs only for you

A fool to cry

Repeat chorus
