Nobody's Fool Lyrics

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 seeI 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 startAny 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 allI 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 ownNow 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 aloneI 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 startAny 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 allAny 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 allI 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 startNobody's fool
