Lyrics

[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
