Backstory:
I was watching Goldfinger and he was contaminating the gold supply. The song hook for Fool's Gold came to me and I thought about how I went panning for gold in Dahlonega, Ga, and how they sold Fool's Gold in their gift shop. So I thought it would be a cute idea to make a song about how a young woman gets tricked by a manipulative scheming man out of her money. She thinks she's getting a great guy in the beginning, but by the end of the relationship, she realizes she's only invested in a fake relationship and her man was like Fool's Gold, worthless!
Lyrics:
Fool’s Gold
Janet Devers
He conned me with a wink of an eye
I felt weak when he strutted on by
He knew he looked just like a Greek god
Blond hair, green eyes, Tall, Tall, Tall
He fed me one of his cheap lines
He mesmerized my mind
I was a fool sold on Fool’s Gold
He called me when he needed a friend
He took me from beginning to end
I never once suspected a thing
Even though I paid for everything
Caviar, expensive wines
He billed me every time
I was a fool sold on Fool’s Gold
Bridge
He looked so perfect
I thought I had struck my Fort Knox
What was I thinking?
My head was full of nothing but rocks!
He bought me a red, shiny jaguar
But I’ve made all the payments so far.
He jetted me to Venice last June
He’ll pay off my Visa real soon!
I financed his get rich schemes
But now I’m eatin’ beans
I was a fool sold on Fool’s Gold
Repeat Bridge
He hocked my diamond engagement ring
We have a court date set for this spring
He doesn’t know what’s gotten to me
I told him tell it to Judge Judy
Tag
So my advice to you is be careful what you do!
I was a fool sold on Fool’s Gold
I was a fool sold on Fool’s Gold
Don’t be a fool sold on Fool’s Gold
