David Ruffin - Statue Of A Fool

Somewere there should be
for all the world to see
a staue of a fool made of stone.

An image of a man
who let love slip through his hands
and left him to stand here all alone.

So build a statue and oh build it high
so all the world can see.
and inscribe the worlds greatest fool,
and name it 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,
and everyone would know,
concealed inside is a broken heart.

So build a statue and oh build it high
so all the world can see.
and inscribe the worlds greatest fool,
and name it after me.

So build a statue and oh build it high
so that all the world can see.
and inscribe the worlds greatest fool,
and name it after me.
Yeah, and name it after me.
