Janis Ian — Everybody Knows

[Refrain 1] I'm sitting here all alone You don't know how I cry Oh, it's no fun to be alone, made of stone You don't know how to try [Verse 1] Jeannie with the light brown hair comes up the stair Tells me what to wear, says it's there I know she's a fool Wish she could sing to you, maybe even bring you Some kind of ring or two for you But that wouldn't be cool [Pre-Chorus 1] You've been a bad girl You've been had, girl Your mama's in the pantry With your other daddy, quietly Turn off the electricity [Chorus 1] Everybody knows that you've been wearing no clothes Ever since the time you tried to fly from the Eiffеl Tower The power of thе flower is dead [Refrain 2] I'm sitting here all alone You don't know how I cry Oh, it's no fun to be alone, made of stone You don't know how to die [Verse 2] Junie is a flower-child, she tries to run wild She says it's only the style I know she's truthful Sitting on a stone, all alone never know how it grows Enstarved on the stone I know it's beautiful [Pre-Chorus 2] You've been a bad boy You've been had, boy Your daddy took the toys To the neighbor, and go to investigate Your daddy's upper plate is made of gold [Chorus 2] Nobody told you, no one wants to hold you Nobody showed you, I could have told you to watch it, kid You might end up dead [Bridge] Don't mind the words of my song They're not strong I'll get along Don't get tangled with the do-you-inners They can eat you for dinner You're a full-time sinner, yeah [Interlude] Everybody knows, everybody knows Ask them why, they reply that it shows Everybody knows, everybody knows All about the hoes in they clothes Better been shown on a screen To the queen [Refrain 1 (fade)] I'm sitting here all alone You don't know how I cry Oh, it's no fun to be alone, made of stone You don't know how to try...
