STATUE OF A FOOL
(David Ruffin)
 

Somewhere there should be for all
The world to see a statue of a fool made of stone
An image of a man who let love slip through his hands
 

And then just let him stand there all alone
And there on his face a gold tear should be placed
To honor the million tears he's cried
 

And the hurt in his eyes would show so everyone would know
Concealed is a broken heart inside
So build a statue and oh build it high so that all can see
Then inscribe the world's greatest fool and name it after me
