She sits home and dreams 
That her man will leave his mark on her hand 
He's not all he seems 
But she's seen a dress, she has the flowers planned 
Now she won't be happy 
Till she look down and sees the engagement ring 
It's for security 
But she will be waiting years for her wedding 
 [bad word]  

For me it aint real 
It's fools gold 
There too many fools sold 
Not an excuse oh 
For me it aint real 
It's fools gold 
I don't hear everything I'm told 

He won't change her life 
He just chasing tail 
And wasting her time 
She calls herself his wife 
He calls her at 8 says be here by 9 
She don't notice how when she gets the ring 
It's not a good fit 
So next time that they row 
She throws it out 
It goes to the last girl he hit 
 [bad word]  

Cuz for me it aint real 
It's fools gold 
There too many fools sold 
Not an excuse oh 
For me it aint real 
It's fools gold 
I don't hear everything I'm told 

So take the gold you find 
And for your own sake 
Hold it in your hand 
Now make sure you bite down 
And watch your tooth don't break on that wedding band 
 [bad word]  

For me it aint real 
It's fools gold 
There too many fools sold 
Not an excuse oh 
For me it aint real 
Yes it's fools gold
