(michael leeson / peter vale / jack hues / peter wolf)
The longer love survives
The more its easy to be blind
When it is obvious its over
I put my trust in you
I spent my love and I thought I knew
But now things just dont 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 fool, I let it slip away
Just like a fool and his money
All the love has gone
You think everythings 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 youve 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
