Everybody Knows

Everybody knows that the boat is sinking;
everybody knows that the captain lied.
Everybody's got this broken feeling,
like their momma or their dog just died.
Everybody's hands are in their pockets,
everybody wants a box of chocolates
and a long stemmed rose...everybody knows.

Everybody knows, everybody knows.
That's how it goes, everybody knows.
Everybody knows, everybody knows.
That's the way it goes, everybody knows.

Everybody knows that it's now or never;
everybody knows that its me or you;
everybody knows that you'd wait forever,
when you've had a line or two;
everybody knows that the deal is rotten,
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
for your ribbons and bows...

Everybody knows you love me baby,
everybody knows that you really do.
Everybody knows that you've been faithful,
give or take a night or two.
Everybody knows you've been discreet;
so many people you had to meet...without your clothes,
and everybody knows.

Everybody knows, everybody knows.
That's the way it goes, everybody knows.
Everybody knows, everybody knows,
that's how it goes and everybody knows.
Everybody knows, everybody knows,
