Everybody knows, everybody knows
The many times you've been in love before me
Everybody smiles, everybody smiles
There's got to be another kind of story
Everybody knows how I feel about you
Everybody knows, everyone but you

Can't you hear the song that I'm singin'?
Can't you hear the words that I'm bringin'?
Ode to you this time
I laid on the line
I need you to be mine

Can't you hear a heart when it's breakin'?
Can't you see the sense when I'm makin'?
Take a look around
And tell me what you found
When you hear the sound

Can't you hear the song that I'm singin'?
Won't you take the hand that I'm givin'?
I'm just talkin' of
A simple song of love,
One that won't go wrong
Can't you hear the song?

Everybody knows, everybody knows
I'm runnin' round a circle tryin' to find you
Will you ever learn, will you ever learn
The one you really need is right behind you?
Everybody knows I've been gettin' nowhere
That's the way it goes when all I want is you

Can't you hear the song that I'm singin'?
Can't you hear the words that I'm bringin'?
Ode to you this time
I laid on the line
I need you to be mine

Can't you hear the song that I'm singin'?
Won't you take the hand that I'm givin'?
I'm just talkin' of
A simple song of love,
One that won't go wrong
Can't you hear the song?

Everybody knows I've been gettin' nowhere
That's the way it goes when all I want is you
