Bending over backwards
You walk on shells like a prisoner
But it's shaky ground when you living
In a house of cards

Your nerves are shot, you can barely cope
You're spread so thin like a tightrope
Tripping over yourself to make sure
You never miss a mark

Don't you know
You can't, you can't please everybody
No, you can't please everybody
No, no matter how hard you try

Hey, hey, hey
You can't, you can't please everybody
No, you can't please everybody
No, no matter how hard you try

Whats you're looking at me for
I used my tears to mop the floor
One stick, one stone ain't enough to make me fall apart

Hey, hey, hey
Somebody waits for you with a crown
And somebody else wants to take you down
It don't matter which side of the fence
That you choose to ride

Don't you know
You can't, you can't please everybody
No you can't please everybody
No, no matter how hard you try

Hey, hey, hey
You can't, you can't please everybody
No, you can't please everybody
No, no matter how hard you try

You need someone to hold your hand
Someone to understand
But you tiptoing trying to find 
It's just a waste of time

So many people up in your face
Only hold you back
Only slow your pace
You'll lose it if you keep on trying, yeah

Hey, hey, hey
Don't you know
You can't please everybody
No you can't please everybody
No, no matter how hard you try

Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, you can't please everybody
No, you can't please everybody
No, no matter how hard you try

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey...
No matter how hard you try
