The American rock band Cinderella (“Cinderella”) did not have to go to fame for many years. It was founded in 1983, honed its skills in clubs for some time and already in 1985 signed a contract with the famous Mercury label.
The rapid development of the musicians’ careers is partly due to Jon Bon Jovi. He saw them perform at Philadelphia’s Empire Rock Club and recommended Cinderella to Derek Shulman, who worked at the aforementioned record company.
The group’s first single, Shake Me, did not chart, but the next song, released in this format, did much better and became a major hit.
The history of the creation of the song Nobody’s Fool – Cinderella
The composition was written by Tom Keifer, the author of all the band’s popular rock ballads.
He later talked about who Nobody’s Fool is about:
I think everyone understands what this song is about. In life, you can both fall in love and stop loving. There are songs for both states. Definitely, Nobody’s Fool is a song about the loss of love.
I would not say that it was written for any particular person. Before writing the song, I went through this a few times. Very often, the emotions expressed in songs are cumulative. It is not one particular experience, but the culmination of many situations.

Nobody’s Fool Lyrics
I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It’s time you realize
chorus:
I’m not your fool
Nobody’s fool
Nobody’s fool
I’m no fool
Nobody’s fool
Nobody’s fool
Never again, no, no
You take your road, I’ll take mine
The paths have both been beaten
Searchin’ for a change of pace
Love needs to be sweetened
I scream my heart out, just to make a dime
And with that dime i bought your love
But now I’ve changed my mind
Chorus
I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
Chorus

Nobody’s Fool Lyrics
I count the tears
rolling from my eyes.
Seems like a thousand years have passed
Since it’s over between us.
I dial you on the phone
But you never pick up the phone.
So sit there by yourself
It’s time for you to understand…
Chorus:
I’m not your fool
It’s not easy to fool me,
It’s not easy to fool me.
I’m not a fool,
It’s not easy to fool me,
It’s not easy to fool me,
Never again, no, no
Go your way, and I’ll go mine.
We walked both paths
In search of change.
Love needs to be sweetened.
I worked for pennies
And for them I bought your love,
But now I’ve changed my mind.
Chorus
I count the tears
rolling from my eyes.
Seems like a thousand years have passed
Since it’s over between us.
Chorus
