Everybody plays the fool sometime There's no exception to the rule Listen, baby, it may be factual, may be cruel I ain't lying, 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, 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 They use your heart like a tool Listen, baby, they never tell you so in school But everybody plays the fool How can you help it when the music starts to play And your ability to reason is swept away Oh, heaven on earth is all you see You're out of touch with reality Now you cry but when you're through The next time someone cries for you
