Everybody Plays the Fool - Clarence Carter

Okay, so your heart is broken

You’re sitting around mopin', cryin', cryin'

You say you even think about dying

Well, before you do anything rash, baby, dig this

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

Fallin' 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

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

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

Hey, everybody plays the fool, sometime

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

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

Every plays the fool, sometime

There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby

It may be factual, it may be cruel, I wanna say it again

Everybody plays the fool
