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 aloneSo 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 meAnd 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 heartSo 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, yeahSo 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 meThe 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 meAlright now
Won't make the same mistake again, no, no, yeah
Statue of a fool, fool, fool
