Everybody Loves You Now

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're 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 around 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 ev'rybody loves you now Billy Joel
