The Richest Fool Alive (Recorded by Patty Loveless)
|
|
Verse 1
|
There's just no way of going back, to change what's come and gone
|
But if I could go back in time, I’d undo what you've done
|
I wouldn't look into your eyes, and go completely blind
|
Or listen to your pretty words, and leave my heart behind
|
|
*Chorus
|
If heartache were treasure, and pain could be sold
|
If dreams were made of silver, and promises of gold
|
If tear drops were diamonds, measured in lies
|
I’d have a broken heart worth millions, and be the richest fool alive.
|
(Repeat last line in instrumental)
|
|
Verse 2
|
Next time I listen to my friends, take their advice to heart
|
And avoid all of this misery, I could of ended from the start
|
But fools in love don't listen, they don't know right from wrong
|
They see just what they wanna see, and miss it when it’s gone
|
|
*Chorus
|
If heartaches were treasure, and pain could be sold,
|
If dreams were made of silver, and promises of gold
|
Tear drops were diamonds, measured in lies
|
I’d have a broken heart worth millions, and be the richest fool alive
|
(Repeat last line and repeat again in instrumental).
