Baby all the lights are turned on you
|
Now you're in the center of the stage
|
Ev'rything revolves on what you do
|
Ah, you are in your prime
|
You've come of age
|
You can always have your way somehow
|
'Cause ev'rybody loves you now
|
|
You can walk away from your mistakes
|
You can turn your back on what you do
|
Just a little smile is all it takes
|
And you can have your cake and eat it too
|
Loneliness will get to you somehow
|
But ev'rybody loves you now
|
|
Ah, they all want your white body
|
And they await your reply
|
Ah, but between you and me and the
|
Staten Island ferry So do I
|
|
All the people want to know your name
|
Soon there will be lines outside your door
|
Feelings do not matter in your game
|
'Cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore
|
So your life is only living anyhow
|
And ev'rybody loves you now
|
|
Close your eyes when you don't want to see
|
And stay at home when you don't want to go
|
Only speak to those who will agree
|
Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want
|
to know
|
You have lost your innocence somehow
|
But ev'rybody loves you now
|
|
Ah. you know that nothin' lasts forever
|
And it's all been done before
|
Ah but you ain't got the time
|
To go to Cold Spring Harbor no more
|
|
See how all the people gather 'round
|
Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them all crawl
|
Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down
|
Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall
|
This is what you wanted, ain't you proud
|
'Cause ev'rybody loves you now
|
