Give it to me tender or don’t give it at all
Hold me like that real man I’ve never met before
Give it to me tender or don’t give it at all
You’ve got that midas touch
But your love is like fool’s gold

You call my name then push me back
You know it hurts, 18 carat heart attack
You wear me well around your neck
But once I'm snatched, you can never get me back
I know I'm true, I'm of the earth
Just use your hands, push your fingers in the dirt
You’ll never, ever understand

Because your love is like fool’s gold
Because your love is like fool’s gold
Because your love is like fool’s gold
Because your love is like fool’s, fool’s

You make me mad, you test your luck
You hold me down till I give up and wanna

You call my name then push me back
You know it hurts, 18 carat heart attack
I know I'm true, I'm of the earth
Use your hands, push your fingers in the dirt
You’ll never, ever understand

Because your love is like fool’s gold
Because your love is like fool’s gold
Because your love is like fool’s gold
Because your love is like fool’s, fool’s
