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 look down and sees the engagement ring
It´s for security
But she will be waiting years for her wedding

[Chorus]

For me it aint real
It´s fools gold
There too many fools sold
Not an excuse oh
For me it aint 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 8 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]

Cuz for me it aint real
It´s fools gold
There too many fools sold
Not an excuse oh
For me it aint 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

[Chorus]

For me it aint real
It´s fools gold
There too many fools sold
Not an excuse oh
For me it aint real
Yes it´s fools gold.
