The Mr. T Experience - Everybody Knows You're Crying lyrics

rate me

Everybody says you shouldn't cry

everybody's standing by

and everybody's gonna roll their eyes

if you ever do

everybody says it's not too late

and you can still participate

you take everybody's bait

and everybody laughs at you

they'll leave you crying all alone

they'll say they wouldn't have if they had only known

but you see the reality behind their indulgent stares--

everybody knows you're crying

no one ever really cares

everybody thinks you're a little slow

everyone wants you to know

they went through the same thing long ago

and it wasn't that hard to do

everybody says they sympathize

you stand by while they describe

someone you don't even recognize

that's supposed to look like you

but they never can explain

how to live with such spectacular pain

and when you're at your weakest

they advise you to be strong

everybody says they've been there

everybody must be wrong

ooh ooh ooh ooh everybody knows you're crying

they send their love

and love is loud

they feel it's greatly to their credit

and they're proud

of their compassion,

and it's true

but it doesn't have a lot to do with you

and you can't escape the conclusion

though you don't like what it was:

everybody says they love you,

no one ever really does.

ooh ooh ooh ooh everybody knows you're crying

everybody knows you're crying

everybody knows you're crying
