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:]
(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...
