Everybody's somebody's fool
Francis Connie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The tears I cried for you could fill an ocean
But you don't care how many tears I cry
And though you only lead me on and hurt me
I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye

'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's baby
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool

I told myself it's best that I forget you
Though I'm a fool, at least I know the score
Yet darlin', I'd be twice as blue without you
It hurts, but I'd come running back for more

'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's baby
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool

Someday you'll find someone you really care for
And if her love should prove to be untrue
You'll know how much this heart of my is breakin'
You'll cry for her the way I cried for you

Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's baby




And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool

Overall Meaning

The song "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" by Connie Francis talks about the heartache that one goes through after a breakup. The first verse describes the immense pain that the singer feels due to the callous behavior of their ex. However, they cannot bring themselves to leave because they know that everybody in this world is a fool for somebody. They are trapped in this vicious cycle of love and heartbreak, unable to escape the pain.


The second verse shows the singer trying to move on from their partner, but they can't seem to do so fully. They realize that they might be a fool for staying, but they can't help it. The chorus reiterates the fact that everyone falls victim to someone's manipulation at some point in their life, and there are no exceptions to this rule. The final verse talks about how someday, the ex will fall in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate their feelings, and they will feel the pain that the singer is feeling right now.

I bought this in 1960, have numerous copies of it, and play it regularly. The great thing about getting older is that you don't give a toss what others think.
