you only wanted what money could buy,any trinket that sparkled would catch your green eyes I should have known better,but i loved you too much,and when you spent all my savings,love was not enough.If i were a drinker i'd be drunk tonight,and if'n i were a gambler,i'd bet my last dime,you're out with another,and you won't be home,but if i were a rich man you would'nt be gone.We used to go dancin' on saturday night you shined like a diamond underneath those blue lights you were a fools gold oh but i would soon learn i'd never make you happy with the money i earned.If i were a drinker,i'd be drunk tonight,and if'n i was a gambler,lord i'd bet my last dime you're out with another,and you won't be home,but if i were a rich man you would'nt be gone
