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
CHORUS
Cuz everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the ru-u-ule
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
CHORUS
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 ru-u-ule
Yes, everybody's somebody's foolThe soldiers of my discontent march from my soul to my head
I make myself a prisoner in this my latest self made war
The angel of my higher self must be guarding someone else
Haunted thoughts made manifest so many ghosts still left to rest
I wanna give up the fight; and lose myself in your love
Give up the fight; oh to be a Prince of Peace for just one night
Trapped in this eternal quest for faith and wisdom and courage
Stranded as the sole captor the same old torture as before
I wanna give up the fight; and lose myself in your love
Give up the fight; oh to be a Prince of Peace for just one night
Undaunted and unbreakable a centred soul unshakable
My root of bondage and my release
When will I be a Prince of Peace?
The soldiers of our discontent marching since this time was sent
When will the battle ever cease?
When will we learn to walk in peace?
