Fools Gold

I keep investing my time Like a prospector on a gold rush I keep panning and panning Hoping to get one glimmer of gold To help me to survive in life Instead I keep getting fooled By all that shines I see and love Fools gold... Men who I can't take to the bank Men who are all pretty and sweet But inside they are all fake And they leave... ugly green stains on my heart When will I finally strike it rich With a man who is 24 Carat pure gold Who has love for me That is priceless... A love that will help me to survive Life's toils and strife When will my panning days be over It seems.. My heart is weary and water logged From hoping against hope Holding the strainer of my heart in my hands Hoping to find True golden love... instead of constantly being Played like the fool With this river that runs full of fools gold.
