[Verse]
Everybody is somebody's fool
The world is the biggest school
As you live, you learn, though a torch will burn
Everybody is somebody's fool
You go through life making fools of others
Pretending you are giving them love
But remember sister or brother
You all have to answer to the one up above
[Chorus] [x2]
It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh so sad when it ends
As you got through life remember this rule
Everybody is somebody's fool
Everybody is somebody's fool
The world is the biggest school
As you live, you learn, though a torch will burn
Everybody is somebody's fool
You go through life making fools of others
Pretending you are giving them love
But remember sister or brother
You all have to answer to the one up above
[Chorus] [x2]
It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh so sad when it ends
As you got through life remember this rule
Everybody is somebody's fool
