The Greatest Love
by B.J. Thomas

Album: Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head

Ohh ohh ohh oh
Your other love
Buys you pretty clothes
And all the fine things
That Heaven only knows
I wish I could

Your other love dances and he sings
And he swings and he says all the witty little things
That a playboy should

Oh he's got money
He's got charm
And when you're walking arm in arm
It hurts me so
But I want you to know

It's not easy
Heaven knows I've tried
To wish the best to you
And push myself aside

It takes the greatest love
That you'll ever find
To let you walk away
Leaving me behind
That's the greatest love

Oh yes it is
Oh Ohh ohh ohh

Your other love
He's got the power
To entertain you
Each and every hour
Of the day and night

Your other love
He's got the ways and the means
To show you all the wild scenes
Where the lights are bright

Oh love should never be possessed
So don't you cry and be depressed
You're free to go
But I still want you to know

It's not easy
Heaven knows I've tried
To wish the best to you baby
And push myself aside

It takes the greatest love
That you'll ever find
To let you walk away
Leaving me behind
And that's the greatest love
Oh yes it is

Oh it takes the greatest love
Ohh ohhh it takes the greatest love
Ohh it takes the greatest love

Statue Of A Fool

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
Ohh oh build it high
So that all
All the world can see
Then inscribe The World's Greatest Fool
And name it after me
