You sit around moping, crying, crying
You say you even think about dying
Well, before you do anything rash, dig this
(Chorus)
Everybody plays the fool sometime
There's no exception to the rule
Listen, baby, it may be factual it 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 taht the one ou love is gonna love you
Oh, loving eyes,they cannot see
A certain person could never be
Love runs deeper than any ocean
You can cloud your mind with emotion
(Chorus-2)
Everybody plays the fool sometime
They use your heart just like a fool
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 isswept 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
(Chorus)
