the tears i cried for you could fill an ocean

but you don't care how many tears i cry

and though you only lead me on and hurt me

i couldn't bring myself to say goodbye



chorus

cuz everybody's somebody's fool

everybody's somebody's plaything

and there are no exceptions to the ru-u-ule

yes, everybody's somebody's fool



i told myself it's best that i forget you

though i'm a fool at least i know the score

yet darlin' i'd be twice as blue without you

it hurts but i'd come runnin' back for more



chorus



someday you'll find someone you really care for

and if her love should prove to be untrue

you'll know how much this heart of mine is breakin'

you'll cry for her the way i cry for you



yes, everybody's somebody's fool

everybody's somebody's plaything

and there are no exceptions to the ru-u-ule

yes, everybody's somebody's fool
