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
