(henry paul/dale oliver/jim peterik)



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
