Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool – Lyrics

Everybody’s somebody’s fool
The world is the biggest school
As you live you learn
Though a torch will burn
Everybody’s somebody’s fool

You go through life
Making fools of others
Pretending you’re giving them love
But remember, sister or brother
You all have to answer to the one up above

It’s beautiful to watch love begin
But, oh, so sad when it ends
As you go through life
Remember this rule
Everybody’s somebody’s fool

It’s beautiful to watch love begin
But, oh, so sad when it ends
As you go through life remember this rule
Everybody’s somebody’s fool
