(henry paul/dale oliver/jim peterik)
I was the envy of every man
Who thought I held the world in the palm of my hand
Nobody ever got the best of me
I knew better I knew I was lost
I wouldnt let on despite the cost
I was only showin what I wanted them to see
I was nobodys fool
Somebody who always knew just how to play the part
No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes
I walked away before the hearaches start
Any fool can run away from love
It takes a wiser man to fall
Id rather be somebodys fool than nobodys fool at all
I had the answers to the questions of
Matters of the heart and the ways of love
All that was missing is someone to call my own
Now before its too late
I want to know what love is
I lived on the take
I want to learn how to give
Im tired of payin the price of being alone
I was nobodys fool
Somebody who always knew just how to play the part
No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes
I walked away before the hearaches start
Any fool can run away from love
It takes a wiser man to fall
Id rather be somebodys fool than nobodys fool at all
Any fool can run away from love
It takes a wiser man to fall
Id erther be somebodys fool
Than nobodys fool at all
I was nobodys fool
Somebody who always knew just how to play the part
No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes
I walked away before the heartaches start
Nobodys fool
