Lyrics

The tears I cried for you could fill an (F)o cean,

but (G7)you don’t know how man y tears I (C)cry,

and though you on ly lead me on and (F)hurt me,

I (C)could n’t bring my (G7)self to say good (C)bye.

’Cause ev ’ry bod y’s some bod y’s (F)fool,

(G7)ev ’ry bod y’s some bod y’s (F)play (C)thing

and there are no ex cep tions to the (F)rule.

Yes, (C)ev ’ry bod y’s (G7)some bod y’s (C)fool.

I told my self it’s best that I for (F)get you.

Though (G7)I’m a fool, at least I know the (C)score.

But, dar ling, I’d be twice as blue with (F)out you.

It (C)hurts, but I’d come (G7)run ning back for (C)more.

’Cause ev ’ry bod y’s some bod y’s (F)fool,

(G7)ev ’ry bod y’s some bod y’s (F)play (C)thing

and there are no ex cep tions to the (F)rule.

Yes, (C)ev ’ry bod y’s (G7)some bod y’s (C)fool.

I (C)fool.

Some day you’ll find some one to real ly (F)care for

and (G7)if her love should prove to be un (C)true,

you’ll know how much this heart of mine is (F)break ing,

you’ll (C)cry for her the (G7)way I cried for (C)you.

Yes, (C)fool.
