[Verse 1]
The things I once thought exciting
They've all grown tiresome and old
Here's a fool, learned a lesson
Love is more precious than gold
You may give her furs and jewels
But they, they will only grow old
Here's a fool, learned a lesson
Love is more precious than gold

[Bridge]
I once made a decision in my life
A long, long, long time ago
I went for money instead of love
Now I'm so blue and it only goes to show

[Verse 2]
The things I once thought exciting
They've all grown tiresome and old
Here's a fool, learned a lesson
Love, love, it's more precious than gold

[Outro]
You won't need no money
It's more precious than jewels
Get your hands on some lovin'
You won't need no money
It's more precious than gold
More precious, it's more precious than gold
