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 wouldn't let on despite the cost   I was only showin' what I wanted them to see      I was nobody's fool, somebody who   I always knew just how to play the part   No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes   I walked away before the heartaches start   Any fool can run away from love   It takes a wiser man to fall   I'd rather be somebody's fool   Than nobody's fool at all      I had the answers to the questions of   The matters of the heart and the ways of love   All that was missing is someone to call my own   Now before it's too late I want to know what love is   I lived on the take I want to learn how to give   I'm tired of payin' the price of being alone      I was nobody's fool, somebody who   I always knew just how to play the part   No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes   I walked away before the heartaches start   Any fool can run away from love   It takes a wiser man to fall   I'd rather be somebody's fool   Than nobody's fool at all      --- Instrumental ---      Any fool can run away from love   It takes a wiser man to fall   I'd rather be somebody's fool   Than nobody's fool at all      Nobody's fool, somebody who   I always knew just how to play the part   No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes   I walked away before the heartaches start      Nobody's fool   Nobody's fool   Nobody's fool   Nobody's fool   Nobody's fool   Nobody's fool at all...
