Lyrics

Somewhere there should be for all the world to see
A statue of a fool made of gold
An image of a man who let love slip through his hands
Then let it sit there all alone
So build a statue, and oh, build it high
So that all can see
And inscribe "The world's greatest fool"
And name it after, after me
And there on his face a gold tear should be placed
To honor every tear he shed
And I think it would show that everyone would know
That lived inside was a broken heart
So build a statue, and oh, build it high
So that all can see
And inscribe "The world's greatest fool"
And name it after, after me, yeah, yeah
So build a statue, and oh, build it high
So that all can see
And inscribe "The world's greatest fool"
And name it after me, oh yeah
And name it after, after me
The fool, the fool, oh oh oh oh
I was a fool, I was a fool to ever let you go, oh baby
Oh girl, whoa, baby, and name it after, after me
The fool, the fool, and name it after, after me
Alright now
Won't make the same mistake again, no, ooh ooh ooh, whoa-oh, hey, yeah yeah
Statue of a fool, fool, fool, fool
