Everybody got this broken feeling
That their father or their dog just died

Everybody talkin? to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose and everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That?s how it goes, everybody knows

Everybody knows that 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 that you've been discreet
There were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes and everybody knows

Everybody knows that it?s now or never
Everybody knows that it?s me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever
When you've done 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

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That?s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, yeah, everybody knows
That?s how it goes and everybody knows

Everybody knows that the plague is comin?
Everybody knows it?s movin? fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past

And everybody knows that the scene is dead
But there?s gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose what everybody knows

Everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach at Malibu

And everybody knows it?s comin' apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows and everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That?s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That?s how it goes and everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That?s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That?s how it goes, everybody knows
