Patty Loveless
The Richest Fool Alive
[Verse 1]
There's just no way of going back
To change what's come and gone
But if I could go back in time
I'd undo what you've done
I wouldn't look into your eyes
And go completely blind
Or listen to your pretty words
And leave my heart behind

[Chorus]
If heartaches were treasure and pain could be sold
If dreams were made of silver and promises of gold
If teardrops were diamonds measured in lies
I'd have a broken heart worth millions
And be the richest fool alive

[Verse 2]
Next time I'd listen to my friends
Take their advice to heart
And avoid all of this misery
I could've ended from the start
But fools in love don't listen
They don't know right from wrong
They see just what they wanna see
And miss it when it's gone
[Chorus]
If heartaches were treasure and pain could be sold
If dreams were made of silver and promises of gold
If teardrops were diamonds measured in lies
I'd have a broken heart worth millions
And be the richest fool alive

I'd have a broken heart worth millions
