Everybody Knows (Except You) (early idea) Songtext
von The Divine Comedy

Everybody knows that I love you
Everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do except you

I told the stars above
About the one I love
I told the morning sun
Yeah, I′m telling everyone
I told my mom and dad
They seemed to understand
And I'll get through to you
If it′s the last thing that I do

Everybody knows that I love you
Everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do except you

Everybody knows I live for you
Everybody knows I adore you
Everybody knows that it's true except you


I told all of my friends
Again and again and again
I drove them round the bend
So now you're my only friend
I told the passers-by
I made a small boy cry
Yeah, and I′ll get through to you
If it′s the last thing that I do

'Cause everybody knows that I love you
Everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do except you

I′m going crazy, baby (Everybody)
What do I have to do? (Knows I love you)
You know I love you, baby (Everyone except you)
Maybe you'll love me soon

Everybody knows I live for you (Everybody)
And everybody knows I adore you (Knows I love you)
Everybody knows that it′s true except you (Everyone except you)
Except you
Except you
Except you
How come everyone knows except you?

Yeah, and everybody knows that I love you (Everybody)
Yeah, everybody knows that I need you (Knows I love you)
And everybody knows that I do except you
