Dr. Hook — Everybody Loves Me

[Intro] Y-y-y-y oh yeah Oh yeah [Verse 1] Everybody must be on drugs in this town Or maybe there's a strange new bug that's been going round 'Cause people are all smiling and waving as I go by Everybody loves me and I don't know why [Verse 2] It used to be a kind face was a rarity But now I got friends coming out both ends just to visit me But it don't make sense 'cause my confidence has been destroyed Everybody loves me but I'm paranoid [Bridge] What ever happened to the cold, cruel world I used to understand When every road was paved with wet cement Back when if I was hangin' off a cliff you'd be walkin' on my hands Somebody please tell me where all the good times went Whooo-hey [Chorus] Every time I needed somethin', no-one'd ever give me nothin' And it'd never fail I had to sit right down and write myself a letter Just to get mail But now my ears are singin' from the damn ding-a-lingin' Of the telephone Everybody loves me but I'm not at home [Bridge] What ever happened to the cold, cruel world I used to understand When every road was paved with wet cement (Hey, do you remember?) Back when if I was hangin' off a cliff you'd be dancin' on my hands Somebody please tell me where all the good times went Wh-wh-wh- [Chorus] Every time I needed something, no-one'd ever give me nothing And it'd never fail I had to sit right down and write myself a letter Just to get mail But now my ears are singin' from the damn ding-a-lingin' Of the telephone (it's alright) Everybody loves me but I'm not at home [Outro] He's paranoid (oh, everybody loves me) He's paranoid (everybody l-ahh) He's paranoid (ahh) He's paranoid (oh, woh, woh) He's paranoid (everybody loves me) He's paranoid (everybody loves me) He's paranoid (ah-ah-ahh, yeah) He's paranoid (y-y-y-y-yeah, yeah) He's paranoid
