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
