(michael leeson / peter vale / jack hues / peter wolf)



The longer love survives

The more it's easy to be blind

When it is obvious it's over

I put my trust in you

I spent my love and I thought I knew

But now things just don't look the same

I paid the price with a love I thought was strong

Counting on you I was wrong



Chorus:

Just like a fool and his money

Just like a foolI let it slip away

Just like a fool and his money

All the love has gone



You think everything's all right

But love can change that all over night

And the hand you hold is colder

And then your fortunes fade

You really need the gold that you've thrown away

And all you believed in has changed

I paid the price for leaving love to chance alone

Now I know this bird has flown



Repeat chorus



As the rain pours down in a starless night

And my heart longs only for you

A fool to cry



Repeat chorus
