Baby all the lights are turned on you

Now you're in the center of the stage

Ev'rything revolves on what you do

Ah, you're in your prime

You've come of age

You can always have your way somehow

'Cause ev'rybody loves you now



You can walk away from your mistakes

You can turn your back on what you do

Just a little smile is all it takes

And you can have your cake and eat it too

Loneliness will get to you somehow

But ev'rybody loves you now

Ah, they all want your white body

And they await your reply

Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry

So do I



All the people want to know your name

Soon there will be lines outside your door

Feelings do not matter in your game

'Cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore

So your life is only living anyhow

And ev'rybody loves you now



Close your eyes when you don't want to see

And stay at home when you don't want to go

Only speak to those who will agree

Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know

You have lost your innocence somehow

But ev'rybody loves you now



Ah, you know that nothin' lasts forever

And it's all been done before

Ah but you ain't got the time

To go to Cold Spring Harbour no more



See how all the people gather around

Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl

Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down

Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall

This is what you wanted, ain't you proud

'Cause ev'rybody loves you now
