[Spoken:]
|
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
|
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
|
