Everybody Plays the Fool
Understanding Heartbreak: Embracing Life's Lessons
Lyrics
Ok, so your heart is broken
Expressing empathy towards someone with a broken heart.
You're sitting around mopin', mopin', mopin', cryin', cryin'
Describing the state of sadness and crying after a heartbreak.
You say you're even thinking about dying
Indicating extreme emotional pain, contemplating drastic actions.
Well, before you do anything rash, baby, listen to this
Encouraging the person to listen before making impulsive decisions.
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
Stating that everyone experiences heartbreak at some point.
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
Emphasizing that heartbreak is universal, no one is exempt.
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Acknowledging that heartbreak can be both factual and cruel.
Everybody plays the fool
Reiterating the idea that everyone goes through the pain of heartbreak.
Fallin' in love is such an easy thing to do
Highlighting the ease of falling in love but noting its uncertainty.
But there's no guarantee that the one you love, is gonna love you
Expressing the lack of assurance that love will be reciprocated.
Oh, loving eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be
Pointing out the blindness of love and its inability to recognize a mismatch.
Love runs deeper than any ocean, it clouds you're mind with emotion
Describing the depth of love and its power to cloud judgment.
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
Repeating the idea that everyone goes through the experience of being a fool in love.
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
Emphasizing again that no one is exempt from the rule of heartbreak.
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Acknowledging the potential harshness of love.
Everybody plays the fool
Reiterating that everyone plays the fool in matters of the heart.
How can you help it, when the music starts to play
Asking rhetorically how one can avoid being a fool when love takes over.
And your ability to reason, is swept away
Describing the overwhelming nature of love that impairs rational thinking.
Oh, heaven on earth is all you see, you're out of touch with reality
Portraying the illusion of perfect happiness, losing touch with reality.
And now you cry, but when you do, next time around someone cries for you
Suggesting that the pain experienced will be reciprocated in the future.
Hey, everybody plays the fool, sometime
Reiterating that being a fool in love is a universal experience.
Use your heart just like a tool, listen baby
Advising to use the heart wisely, implying vulnerability in love.
They never tell you so in school, I wanna say it again,
Noting that traditional education doesn't teach about the inevitability of heartbreak.
Everybody plays the fool
Restating that everyone plays the fool in matters of love.
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
Repeating the idea of the universality of being a fool in love.
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
Emphasizing again that no one is exempt from heartbreak.
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Acknowledging the potential harshness of love.
Everybody plays the fool
Reiterating that everyone plays the fool in matters of the heart.
Every plays the fool, sometime
Repeating the idea that everyone goes through the experience of being a fool in love.
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
Emphasizing again that no one is exempt from the rule of heartbreak.
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I wanna say it again
