Bendin' over backwards   You walk on shells like a prisoner   But it's shaky ground when you livin' in a house of cards      Your nerves are shot, you can barely cope   You're spread so thin like a tightrope   Trippin' over yourself to make sure you never miss a mark      Don't you know   Hey, 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   Oh, no matter how hard you try      Whatcha lookin' at me for?   I used my tears to mop the floor   One stick, one stone ain't enough to make me fall apart      Somebody waits for you with a crown   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   Oh, no matter how hard you try      Hey, hey, hey, you can't   You can't please everybody   No, you can't please everybody   No matter how hard you try      You need someone to hold your hand   Someone to understand   But you tiptoeing tryin' 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 tryin'      Don't you know   You can't please everybody?   No, you can't please everybody   Oh, no matter, no matter, no matter how hard you try      You can't please everybody   Oh no, you can't please everybody   No matter, no matter, no matter how hard you try   No matter, no matter, no matter how hard you try
