Everybody Wants You Lyrics by Billy Squier

Everybody Wants You Lyrics


    You see 'em comin' at you every night
    Strung on pretension they fall for you at first sight
    You know their business--you think it's a bore
    They make you restless--it's nothin' you ain't seen before
    Get around town, spend your time on the run
    You never let down...say you do it for fun
    Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
    You give it all away when everybody wants you


    You crave attention--you can never say "no"
    Throw your affections anyway the wind blows
    You always make it--you're on top of the scene
    You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine
    Puttin' on the eyes 'til there's nobody else
    You never realize what you do to yourself
    The things that they see make the daily reviews
    You never get free when everybody wants you


    Everybody knows you
    Everybody snows you
    Everybody needs you...leads you...bleeds you


    Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
    Days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams
    You got your glory--you paid for it all
    You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
    Say goodbye to conventional ways
    You can't escape the hours--you lose track of the days
    The more you understand, seems the more like you do
    You never get away...everybody wants you
