The Richest Fool Alive Lyrics - Loveless Patty

(Kostas/Bobby Boyd/Don Mealer) 

There's just no way of goin' back to change what's come and gone 

But if I could go back in time I'd undo what you've done 

I wouldn't look into your eyes and go completely blonde 

Or listen to your pretty words and leave my heart behind. 

If heartache were treasures and pain could be sold 

If dreams were made of silver promises of gold 

Tear drops were diamonds measured in lies 

I'd have a broken heart worth millions and be the richest fool alive. 

Next time I listen to my friends take their advice to heart 

And avoid all of this misery I could of ended from the start 

But fools in love don't listen they don't know right from wrong 

They see just what they wanna see and miss it when its gone
