DIXIE CHICKS - Everybody Knows lyrics

rate me

Tell me now if you came sneaking up behind

Would you know me and see behind the smile

I can change like colors on a wall

Hoping no one else will find what lies beneath it all

I think I hide it all so well

Stepping out, everyone can see my face

All the things I can't erase from my life

Everybody knows

Standing out so you won't forget my name

That's the way we play this game of life

Everybody knows

Looking through the crowd

I search for something else

But every time I turn around

I run into myself

Here I stand

Consumed with my surroundings

Just another day

Of everybody looking

I swore they'd never see me cry

You'll never see me cry

Stepping out, everyone can see my face

All the things I can't erase from my life

Everybody knows

Standing out so you won't forget my name

That's the way we play this game of life

Everybody knows

You say I'll pay the price

That's the chance that I'll take

Though you may think I'm telling lies

But I just call it getting by

Stepping out, everyone can see my face

All the things I can't erase from my life

Everybody knows

Standing out so you won't forget my name

That's the way we play this game of life

Everybody knows I am just barely getting by
