From the recording Fool's Gold
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, shined up pretty, nuggets you think you’ve sold
Trying to pass them off as truths of Gold.
But I’ve been digging around in your stomping ground
So let me tell you some of what I’ve found.
You said that you're workin' late
You ignore my calls and make me wait.
Those business trips, you’d never let me go
Said I would be bored at those trade shows.
[Chorus]
You want me to believe you ain’t been foolin’ around
But I aint your fool, wont be some foolish clown
Those rumors keep running through this town
No ones believes your 24 carat sound.
Shiny nuggets that you keep passing around
Its just fool’s gold and I aint buying now.
[Verse 2]
I know that you’ve used a burner phone
Deleted texts tween you and him, they’re gone
I know he’s been in your room late at night
You say it was just for work, yea right!
Suitcase packed and ready for “company time”
You roll your eyes if I ask to ride
You slam that door and then you’re gone again
You call it employment, I call it pretend
[Chorus]
You want me to believe you ain’t been foolin’ around
But I aint your fool, wont be some foolish clown
Those rumors keep running through this town
No ones believes your 24 carat sound.
Shiny nuggets that you keep passing around
Its just fool’s gold and I aint buying now.
[Verse 3]
I know about those times you secretly met,
You’d get into his car, but yall weren’t done yet.
Yall would drive out of town for your dinner date,
You think nobody knows, so yall could stay out late.
You say, “Im just trying to help the company out.”
But everyone knows what its all about
You keep handing out those stones painted like gold
Peddling those lies that you think you’ve sold
[Bridge]
You say "trust me, baby, trust me"
Your behavior don't match your words
I was once blind, but now I'm watchin'
Every line I ever heard
Take your secrets, take your suitcase
Take your lies and hit the road
'Cause I'm done bein' your punchline
In a joke that's gettin' old
[Chorus]
You want me to believe you ain’t been foolin’ around
But I aint your fool, wont be some foolish clown
Those rumors keep running through this town
No ones believes your 24 carat sound.
Shiny nuggets that you keep passing around
Its just fool’s gold and I aint buying now.
I wont be your fool, you’ve been fooling around
