I see you walk
I hear you talk
You're everything I've dreamt of
I was young
Wanted some fun
And I was down on my luck
But you were selfish, a little rude
Brushing things off cause it made you look cool
What's shiny ain't always golden
I was a fool
Mixing up with you
Now I see your tricks are old
But all I saw once was gold
I was a fool
Blocking out the truth
I spent more than I sold
I was blinded
Blinded by fool's gold
I didn't want to believe
When my friends told me
You weren't the real thing
Thought that this could last forever
You and me, always together
But what's shiny ain't always golden
I was a fool
Mixing up with you
Now I see your tricks are old
But all I saw once was gold
I was a fool
Blocking out the truth
I spent more than I sold
I was blinded
Blinded by fool's gold
You were never 24 karat
Just some cheap souvenir
And I want that 24 karat
I was a fool
Mixing up with you
Now I see your tricks are old
But all I saw once was gold
I was a fool
Blocking out the truth
I spent more than I sold
I was blinded
Blinded by fool's gold
You were never 24 karat
Just some cheap souvenir
And I want that 24 karat
