Everybody loves you
So there must be something very wrong with me
Everybody wants you
They must see something in you I don’t see
If you think I’m just a doll to buy I’m not one
If you’re offering a happy life I’ve got one
I am not for sale
And this is not a fairytale

You think just because you’re the king
You own everyone everything
You pick me up and put me down
Like I am just another crown
Now I’m a liability
A challenge to your dignity
And so you cannot let me be

Everybody loves you
So there must be something very wrong with me
Everybody wants you
They must see something in you I don’t see
If they’re looking for an innocent its not you
You take everything I have to say I’ve got you
I am not for sale
And this is not a fairytale

You send my love to the front line
Try to legitimise your crime
And when the enemy destroys
You count your blessings and rejoice
So now you think you’ve set me free
Just to become your property
I wish you had just let me be

Everybody loves you
So there must be something very wrong with me
Everybody wants you
They must see something in you I don’t see
If you’re looking for a family you’ve just lost one
Did you ever think your selfishness would cost one
You and I know you can try but you will never right this wrong
But when you’re long gone
Someone will write this song

Everybody loves you
So there must be something very wrong with me
Everybody wants you
They must see something in you I don’t see
I thought everything made sense until I met you
After all is said and done I still don’t get you
Honey I’m still not for sale
And this is not a fairytale

2 Samuel 11-12

Everybody Loves You

Probably the silliest thing I've ever done.

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."
