Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somewhere there should be for all the world to see
A statue of a fool made of stone
An image of a man who let love slip through his hands
And then let him stand there all alone
[Verse 2]
So build a statue and oh, build it high
So the world can see
Then inscribe the world's greatest fool
And name it after me
[Verse 3]
And there on his face, a gold tear should be placed
To honor every tear he shed
And I think it would show, then everyone would know
Concealed inside is a broken heart
[Verse 4]
So build a statue and oh, build it high
So the world can see
Then inscribe the world's greatest fool
And name it after me
[Verse 5]
So build a statue and oh, build it high
So the world can see
Then inscribe the world's greatest fool
And name it after me, yeah
And name it after me
