Everybody Knows

Janis Ian

[Refrain 1]
I'm sitting here all alone
You don't know how I cry
Oh, it's no fun to be alone, made of stone
You don't know how to try

[Verse 1]
Jeannie with the light brown hair comes up the stair
Tells me what to wear, says it's there
I know she's a fool
Wish she could sing to you, maybe even bring you
Some kind of ring or two for you
But that wouldn't be cool

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You've been a bad girl
You've been had, girl
Your mama's in the pantry
With your other daddy, quietly
Turn off the electricity

[Chorus 1]
Everybody knows that you've been wearing no clothes
Ever since the time you tried to fly from the Eiffеl Tower
The power of thе flower is dead

[Refrain 2]
I'm sitting here all alone
You don't know how I cry
Oh, it's no fun to be alone, made of stone
You don't know how to die

[Verse 2]
Junie is a flower-child, she tries to run wild
She says it's only the style
I know she's truthful
Sitting on a stone, all alone never know how it grows
Enstarved on the stone
I know it's beautiful

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You've been a bad boy
You've been had, boy
Your daddy took the toys
To the neighbor, and go to investigate
Your daddy's upper plate is made of gold

[Chorus 2]
Nobody told you, no one wants to hold you
Nobody showed you, I could have told you to watch it, kid
You might end up dead

[Bridge]
Don't mind the words of my song
They're not strong
I'll get along
Don't get tangled with the do-you-inners
They can eat you for dinner
You're a full-time sinner, yeah

[Interlude]
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Ask them why, they reply that it shows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
All about the hoes in they clothes
Better been shown on a screen
To the queen

[Refrain 1 (fade)]
I'm sitting here all alone
You don't know how I cry
Oh, it's no fun to be alone, made of stone
You don't know how to try...
