"Everybody's Somebody's Fool" is a song written by Jack Keller and Howard Greenfield that was a No. 1 hit for Connie Francis in 1960. A polka-style version in German, "Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel", was the first German single recorded and released by Connie Francis, and it reached No. 1 on the single chart in 1960 in West Germany.
Veteran lyricist Ralph Maria Siegel penned a set of German lyrics, named "Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel" (which translates to "Love is a strange game"), which was subsequently recorded by several artists already established on the German market such as Siw Malmkvist - self-harmonizing as the Jolly Sisters - or the Honey Twins (a German duo despite their English name). When these versions also failed to score as hits, Francis decided to record the song in German herself contrary to her producers' wishes who had advised against it despite the fact that Connie Francis Sings Italian Favorites had been such a huge success and she was currently planning a second Italian album as well as a Spanish album and an album in Hebrew and Yiddish. But Francis insisted on a German version of her own, and after some further friction between Francis herself, her producers and the managers of MGM Records, "Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel" was recorded in June 1960 with producer Arnold Maxin.
Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel
Sie kommt und geht von Einem zum Andern
Sie nimmt uns alles, doch sie gibt auch viel zuviel
Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel

Wir kannten und lieben uns seit Jahren
Die Zukunft schien uns beiden sonnenklar
Fast wären wir zum Standesamt gefahren
Bis alles plötzlich so verändert war
Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel
Sie kommt und geht von Einem zum Andern
Sie nimmt uns alles, doch sie gibt auch viel zuviel
Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel

Wie oft hast Du die Treue mir geschworen
Und zwisch'her war er soviel lange Zeit
Doch dann hast du aufs neu sein Herz verloren
Nur darum bin ich wieder einsam heut'

Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel
Sie kommt und geht von Einem zum Andern
Sie nimmt uns alles, doch sie gibt auch viel zuviel

Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel.

The tears I cry 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 plaything.
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 come runnin' back for more

Cause everybody's somebody's fool.
Everybody's somebody's plaything.
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 mine is breaking.
You'll cry for her the way i've cried for you.

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

Yeart:1988

"Listen to Your Heart" is a song by Swedish pop music duo Roxette, which was originally released in Sweden in September 1988 as the second single from the duo's second studio album, Look Sharp! (1988). It was written by Per Gessle with former Gyllene Tider guitarist Mats "M.P." Persson. The song went on to become one of the most successful singles of 1989, reaching number one in both the United States and Canada. The track was the first song to reach number one in the US without a commercially-released 7" single.
"Listen to Your Heart" originally peaked at number 62 in the UK when it was released there in October 1989. However, following the success of "It Must Have Been Love", the track was reissued as a double A-side with "Dangerous" in August 1990, upon which it reached a chart peak of number six on the UK Singles Chart. In 2005, Belgian trance act DHT released a remixed version of the song, which became a top 10 hit in numerous territories, including France, the Netherlands, the UK and the US.
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea
You've built a love, but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns to dark

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

And there are voices
That want to be heard
So much to mention
But you can't find the words
The scent of magic
The beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind

Listen to your heart
Take a listen to it
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
Take a listen to it
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before
Listen to your heart!
Take a listen to it
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart!
Take a listen to it
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

(Listen to your heart)
(Listen to your heart)
Take a listen to it, heart!
(Listen to your heart)
Take it, take a listen to it, yeah!
(Listen to your heart)
(Listen to your heart)
Heart! Heart!
(Listen to your heart)
Heart! Heart!
(Listen to your heart)
Heart! Heart!
(Listen to your heart)
Heart! Heart!
(Listen to your heart)
Heart! Heart!
