Everybody Plays The Fool

Okay, so your heart is broken

You sit around mopin'

Cryin' and cryin'

You say you're even thinkin' about dyin'

Well, before you do anything rash, dig this

Everybody plays the fool sometime

There's no exception to the rule

Listen, baby, it may be factual, may be cruel

I ain't lyin', everybody plays the fool

Falling in love is such an easy thing to do

And there's no guarantee that the one you love

Is gonna love you

Oh-oh-oh, lovin' eyes they cannot see

A certain person could never be

Love runs deeper than any ocean

You can cloud your mind with emotion

Everybody plays the fool, sometime

There's no exception to the rule

Listen, baby, it may be factual, may be cruel

I want to tell ya that

Everybody plays the fool

How can you help it when the music starts to play

And your ability to reason is swept away

Oh-oh-oh, heaven on earth is all you see

You're out of touch with reality

And now you cry but when you do

Next time around someone cries for you

Everybody plays the fool, sometime

They use your heart like a tool

Listen, baby, they never tell you so in school

I want to say it again

Everybody plays the fool

Listen to me, baby

Everybody plays the fool, sometime

(No exception) no exception to the rule

It may be factual, may be cruel, sometime

But everybody plays the fool

Listen, listen, baby

Everybody plays the fool, sometime

They use your heart like a tool
