Richest Fool Alive Lyrics - Patty Loveless

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 heartaches were treasures and pain could be sold 

If dreams were made of silver and promises of gold 

And 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've 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 it's gone 

If heartaches were treasures and pain could be sold 

If dreams were made of silver and promises of gold 

And tear drops were diamonds measured in lies 

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

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