Somewhere there should be for all the world to see

A statue of a fool made of gold

An image of a man who let love slip through his hands

Then let it sit there all alone

So build a statue and oh build it high

So that all can see

And inscribe the world's greatest fool

And name it after after me

And there on his face a gold tear should be placed

To honor every tear he shed

And I think it would show that everyone would know

That lived inside was a broken heart

So build a statue and oh build it high

So that all can see

And inscribe the world's greatest fool

And name it after after me yeah

So build a statue and oh build it high

So that all can see

And inscribe the world's greatest fool

And name it after me oh yeah

And name it after after me

The fool the fool oh

I was a fool

I was a fool to ever let you go oh baby

Oh girl oh baby and name it after after me

The fool the fool and name it after after me

Alright now

Won't make the same mistake again no no yeah

Statue of a fool fool fool
