Crawled up beside you
I was yours to hold
Still learning how to
But I was yours to love
I, painted you in gold
When I, held you high above it all
Are we chasing it still, will we ever have it?
Like we had in fool's love
When we thought it was real
Did we really have it, or was it only Fool's Gold
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I painted you in gold
Will I ever find it
Like we had in Fool's Gold
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Years have passed us
I wonder where you are
Would you forgive me if I apologized now
I painted you in gold
Remind me how we lost it all
Are we chasing it still, will we ever have it?
Like we had in fool's love
When we thought it was real
Did we really have it, or was it only Fool's Gold
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I painted you in gold
Will I ever find it
Like we had in Fool's Gold
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Find with new love
Like a love song
Just 'cause we learned all the words
But you don't realize until the love is gone
Singing it all wrong
Heartache to heartache we fight on
Promises blinding the truth
But the truth is, it was useless
You and me we're just fools
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Are we chasing it still, will we ever have it?
Like we had in fool's love
When we thought it was real
Did we really have it, or was it only Fool's Gold
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I painted you in gold
Will I ever find it
Like we had in Fool's Gold
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Fool's Gold
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Fool's Gold
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Will I ever have it, like we had in Fool's Gold
