Lyrics:

The tears I've cried for you could fill an ocean
But you don't know how many tears I cry
And though you only leave me on and hurt me
I just couldn't bring myself to say goodbye

(chorus)
Cause everybody's somebody's fool,
Yes everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are all 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 mine is breaking
You'll cry for her the way I cried for you
