Lyrics:

Okay, so you're heartbroken
You sit around mopin', crying and crying
You say you're even thinking 'bout dyin'?
Well, before you do anything rash, dig this
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
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, loving eyes, they cannot see
A certain person could never be
Love runs deeper than any ocean
It clouds your mind with emotion
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
There's no exception to the rule (listen, baby)
It may be factual, may be cruel (I wanna tell you that)
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
And now you cry, but when you do
Next time around someone cries for you
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
They use your heart just like a tool (listen, baby)
They never tell you so in school (I wanna say it again)
Everybody plays the fool (listen to me, baby)
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
No exception to the rule (no exception to the rule)
It may be factual, may be cruel sometimes
Everybody plays the fool (listen, listen, baby)
Everybody plays the fool
