The Richest Fool Alive

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 blind
Or listen to your  pretty words
And leave  my heart behind

If heartaches were  treasure
And pain could  be sold
If  dreams were made of silver
And promises  of gold
If teardrops were  diamonds
Measured in  lies
I'd have  a broken heart worth millions
And be the richest  fool alive

Next time I'd 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
The see just what they  wanna see
And miss it  when it's gone

If  heartaches were treasure
And pain could be  sold
If dreams were  made of silver
And  promises of gold
I teardrops 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
