Fools Gold Lyrics - Tom Scullin

I told you long ago 

That I wouldn't love you 

And you agreed at the time 

Saying you were in need of a friend 

Not a lover 

And not a man with strings 

He had to tie 

But now you changed your tune 

And the music's getting louder 

But I don't want to listen anymore 

I told you long ago 

That I wouldn't love you 

And I've got some words to say 

Before I go 

This Jealous Eye Can't see 

That you're displaying 

And for the asking would be mine 

Too often it has found 

What really wasn't given 

Like fools Gold 

I'm blinded by the shine 

And I can't see the difference 

In my mind 

Now, it's not for myself alone 

That I'm leaving 

I hope someday you'll understand 

I'm just running for your life 

And the love that your're giving 

It's hard to love a man 

Who can't believe
