[Verse 1] Looking for someone who’ll treat you right, VIP at the club, dancing every night. Dinner under chandeliers you swear are divine, Can’t read the menu, but you’re loving the wine. Valet takes the keys to that too‑shiny car, Rooftop table waiting like he owns the stars. All that glitz and glamour looks so pristine, ’Cause every little dent disappears when you got the green. [Pre-Chorus 1] They say those people really live that way, Penthouses glowing, turning night to day. But down here where the rent is always late, The shine we’re chasing starts to fade and flake. [Chorus] Fool’s gold, shining so bright, Fool’s gold, looks real in the light. Fool’s gold — yeah, that might be me, But truth runs deeper than your eyes can see. [Verse 2] Got calloused hands and honest eyes, Some bills are late, but I don’t tell lies. Can’t buy the stars and won’t chase a high, I’ll hold you steady when the shine runs dry [Bridge] I know I’m not the kind they write about, No velvet nights or champagne pouring out. But if the world feels heavy and you start to crawl, I’m the only wall that isn’t gonna fall. [Pre-Chorus 2] I say the simple things you shouldn’t trade, The kind of love that stays when lights all fade. And down here where the real things never fall, This kind of shine was meant to outlast them all. [Chorus] Fool’s gold, shining so bright, Fool’s gold, looks real in the light. Fool’s gold — yeah, that might be me, But truth runs deeper than your eyes can see. [Outro] Fool’s gold, shining so bright, Fool’s gold, looks real in the light. Fool’s gold — yeah, that might be me, But love runs deeper when it’s you and me. Fool’s gold — yeah, that might be me Fool’s gold runs deeper than your eyes can see Fool’s gold — yeah, that might be me Fool’s gold runs deeper when it’s you and me
