| Somewhere there should be for all the world to see
|
| A statue of a fool made of gold
|
| An image of a man who let love slip through his hands
|
| Then let it sit there all alone
|
| So build a statue and oh, build it high
|
| So that all can see
|
| And inscribe the world’s greatest fool
|
| And name it after, after me
|
| And there on his face a gold tear should be placed
|
| To honor every tear he shed
|
| And I think it would show that everyone would know
|
| That lived inside was a broken heart
|
| So build a statue and oh, build it high
|
| So that all can see
|
| And inscribe the world’s greatest fool
|
| And name it after, after me, yeah
|
| So build a statue and oh, build it high
|
| So that all can see
|
| And inscribe the world’s greatest fool
|
| And name it after me, oh yeah
|
| And name it after, after me
|
| The fool, the fool, oh
|
| I was a fool, I was a fool to ever let you go, oh baby
|
| Oh girl, oh baby and name it after, after me
|
| The fool, the fool and name it after, after me
|
| Alright now
|
| Won’t make the same mistake again, no, no, yeah
|
| Statue of a fool, fool, fool |
