The Richest Fool Alive

(Bobby Boyd - Kostas - Don Mealer)



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 heartaches were treasure and pain could be sold

If dreams were made of silver and promises of gold

If teardrops were diamonds measured in lies

I'd have a broken heart worth millions and be the richest fool alive.



--- Instrumental ---



Next time I'd listen to my friends

Take their advice to heart

And avoid all of this misery

I could've ended from the start.



But fools in love don't listen

They don't know right from wrong

They just see 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

If teardrops were diamonds measured in lies

I'd have a broken heart worth millions and be the richest fool alive.



I'd have a broken heart worth millions

And be the richest fool alive...
