Fool’s Gold Lyrics by Amy Winehouse

Frank (B-Sides)

2008

[Verse 1]
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
'Til she looks down and sees the engagement ring
It's false security
'Cause she will be waiting years for her wedding

[Chorus]
For me, it ain't real, it's fools gold
There too many fools sold, not an excuse, oh
For me, it ain't real, it's fools gold
I don't hear everythin' I'm told

[Verse 2]
He won't change her life
He just chasin' tail and wastin' her time
She calls herself his wife
He calls her at 8 and 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

[Chorus]
'Cause, for me, it ain't real, it's fools gold
There too many fools sold, not an excuse, oh
For me, it ain't real, it's fools gold
I don't hear everything I'm told

[Verse 3]
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 weddin' band

[Chorus]
For me, it ain't real, it's fools gold
There too many fools sold, not an excuse, oh, oh
For me, it ain't real, yes, it's fools gold

[Outro]
Fools gold, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Fools gold, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
