She sits home and dreams That her man will leave his mark on her hand He's not all he seems But she's seen a dress she has the flowers planned Now she won't be happy Till she look down and sees the engagement ring It's for security But she will be waiting years for her wedding For me it aint real It's fools gold There too many fools sold Not an excuse oh For me it aint real It's fools gold I don't hear everything I'm told He won't change her life He just chasing tail And wasting her time She calls herself his wife He calls her at 8 says be here by 9 She don't notice how when she gets the ring It's not a good fit So next time that they row She throws it out It goes to the last girl he hit For me it aint real It's fools gold There too many fools sold Not an excuse oh For me it aint real It's fools gold I don't hear everything I'm told So take the gold you find And for your own sake Hold it in your hand Now make sure you bite down And watch your tooth don't break on that wedding band For me it aint real It's fools gold There too many fools sold Not an excuse oh For me it aint real It's fools gold.
