Nobody's Fool

(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
