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 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
I`d rather be somebody`s fool than nobody`s 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 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 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
I`d rather be somebody`s fool than nobody`s fool at all
Any fool can run away from love
It takes a wiser man to fall
I`d erther be somebody`s fool
Than nobody`s fool at all
I was nobody`s fool
Somebody who always knew just how to play the part
No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes
I walked away before the heartaches start
Nobody`s fool
