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 looks down and sees
The engagement ring
It's for security
Cause she will be waiting
Years for her wedding
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
He won't change her life
He just chasing tail
And wasting her time
She calls herself his wife
He calls her at eight
And says be here by nine
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 ain't real
It's fools gold
There too many fools sold
Not an excuse, oh oh
For me it ain't 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 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
Fools gold
Fools gold
