Everybody's Somebody's Fool Lyrics - Gettin' Around - Dexter Gordon

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 

Cause everybody's somebody's fool 

Everybody's somebody's plaything 

And there are no exceptions to the rule 

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 running back for more 

Cause everybody's somebody's fool 

Everybody's somebody's plaything 

And there are no exceptions to the rule 

Yes, everybody's somebody's fool 

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 my is breakin' 

You'll cry for her the way I cried for you 

Yes, everybody's somebody's fool 

Everybody's somebody's plaything 

And there are no exceptions to the rule 

Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
