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

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
