Ok, so your heart is broken
You're sitting around
Mopin', mopin', mopin', cryin', cryin'
You say you're even thinking about dying
Well, before you do anything rash, baby
Listen to 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 lyin'
Everybody plays the fool

Falling in love is such an easy thing to do
But, 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

Chorus

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
Out of touch with reality
And now you cry, but, when you do
Next time around
Someone cries for you

Hey, everybody plays the fool, sometime
Use your heart just like a tool
Listen, baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel
I ain't lyin'
Everybody plays the fool

Chorus
