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
  
   'cause everybody's somebody's fool
   Everybody's somebody's plaything
   And there are no exceptions to the rule
   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
  
   'cause everybody's somebody's fool
   Everybody's somebody's plaything
   And there are no exceptions to the rule
   Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
  
   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 rule
   Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
