Statue of a Fool David Ruffin

[Verse 1]
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 hand
And then let him stand there all alone

[Chorus]
So, build a statue, and oh, build it high
So the world can see
And inscribe: "The World's Greatest Fool"
And name it after me

[Verse 2]
Mmm, 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

[Chorus]
So, build a statue, and oh, build it high
So the world can see
And inscribe: "The World's Greatest Fool"
And name it after me

[Outro]
So, 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, yeah, yeah
And name it after me
