Ian Hunter: "Everyone's A Fool" Lyrics

(Darrell Bath/Roig)

He asked me home at a midnight

Hey you'll be lucky if it's daylight

When you saw me down the alley

Yeah I swear's I'm not with Annie, hey Annie, yeah

'Cause everyone's a fool, child

Everyone's wild

I'll say I was your fool, babe

'Cause you know that's a lie

Now everybody gets lonesome

And we all need a friend

So take it easy baby-love

I'm not here to do you in

'Cause everyone's a fool, child

Everyone's wild

I'll say I was your fool, babe

'Cause you know that's a lie

Oooh, once in a while

Any old time

And that's no lie

She'll be showing up at midnight

And everyone wanna taste right

So you better get your do-re-mi all right

Or she won't be getting paid

Everyone's a fool, child

Everyone's wild

Don't say I was your fool, babe

'Cause you know that's a lie

Hey that's all right

Oh, once in a while

It might be any old time

Well, that's ain't no lie

Well, maybe a little one
