Billy Joel Everybody Loves You Now Lyrics

Everybody Loves You Now Lyrics

Baby all the lights are turned on you 

Now you're in the center of the stage


Everything revolves on what you do 

Ah, you are in your prime; you've
come of age 

 

And you can always have your way somehow 

But
everybody 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 

Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too 

 

Loneliness
will get to you somehow 

But everybody 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 

Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore


 

So your life is only living anyhow 

And everybody loves you now


 

Close your eyes when you don't want to see 

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 you
innocence somehow 

But everybody loves you now 

 

Ah, you know that
nothing 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 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 everybody loves you now
