Fool's Gold Lyrics

You don't like rollercoasters
How could you ever love a girl like me?
I took you to the end of my street
So you could see my bones were cut with a promise to you
Our stars came in a packet of two

She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side

Fool's gold, shining in the night, so easy on the eyes
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, so bright, fooling everyone in sight
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?

I won't bend to you, no, I don't know how to
Can you handle a girl like her?
She is bolder than you think
Can you love a girl like me
While she is running through your dreams?
Dragged through the midnight, and it reignites

She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side

Fool's gold, shining in the night, so easy on the eyes
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, so bright, fooling everyone in sight
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?

She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side

Fool's gold, shining in the night, so easy on the eyes
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, so bright, fooling everyone in sight
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, shining in the night, so easy on the eyes
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, so bright, fooling everyone in sight
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
