Lyrics: Patty Loveless. Richest Fool Alive.

There's just no way of goin' 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 blonde
Or listen to your pretty words and leave my heart behind

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

Next time I 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

If heartaches were treasures and pain could be sold
If dreams were made of silver and promises of gold
And tear drops 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 and be the richest fool alive
