Fool's Gold

Jill Scott


Oh, silly me my dear, for thinking that you'd stay
Gave you my heart and then you ran away
Either I'm stupid, I'm foolish, or you're playing me
But it seems, we were never really meant to be

So I thought I would try something new
I wanted to find out if I could live happy without you
And it turned out I, I wasn't living at all
But I would have never known if you had just played along

I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true
Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you
You had me chasing fool's gold
I was chasing fool's gold
I was chasing fool's gold

Somewhere deep down inside I knew you weren't right
But breaking your spell was a plan I never devised
I would have been here forever living for you
But I would have been living forever as your fool, oh, oh

I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true
Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you
You had me chasing fool's gold
I was chasing fool's gold
I was chasing fool's gold

I bit in to the apple
I took the wooden nickel, yeah
I was blinded to my core
And I went into the wrong door
And furthermore

I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true
(I was living dreams, oh)
Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you (I can't believe)
You had me chasing fool's gold (I ever believed in you)
I was chasing fool's gold (I was chasing fool's gold)
I was chasing fool's gold (fool's gold, oh)

I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true
(I was living dreams, mmm)
Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you (I can't believe I ever believed in you)
You had me chasing fool's gold (I was)
I was chasing fool's gold (I was chasing fool's gold)
I was chasing fool's gold

I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true
Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you
You had me chasing fool's gold
I was chasing fool's gold
I was chasing fool's gold
