Lyrics:
(humming)
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
(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 of above
*
It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh, so sad when it ends
(So sad when it ends)
As you go through life, remember this rule
Everybody's somebody's fool
(Everybody's somebody's fool)
(humming)
(* Repeat with ad lib and fade)
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
(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 of above
*
It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh, so sad when it ends
(So sad when it ends)
As you go through life, remember this rule
Everybody's somebody's fool
(Everybody's somebody's fool)
(humming)
(* Repeat with ad lib and fade)
