Everybody Knows
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And heard me beg him stay
Please stay
Why, why did we choose this crowded
They all know it
Cause I show it in my face
Everybody knows you said goodbye
Everybody knows we're through
Runnin' down my face for you
They all said it's too good to be true
He'll make a fool of you
One day
I just laughed and said our love was strong
But you left me
And they all know I was wrong
Everybody knows you're tired of me
Everybody knows we're through
Though I'm on my own, I can't be free
Baby, I just live for you
Everybody knows you said goodbye
Everybody knows we're through
Now they all can see the tears I cry
Runnin' down my face for you
The lyrics of "Everybody Knows" by Engelbert Humperdinck speak about the end of a relationship and the heartbreak that comes with it. The singer wishes that no one had seen his partner walk away and cries out for them to stay. The crowded place they are in makes it worse as everyone can see the pain and sadness on the singer's face. It's clear to everyone that the relationship has ended, and the tears running down the singer's face are a clear indication of that.
The song also speaks on how others warned the singer about how the relationship was too good to be true, and that their partner will make a fool out of them. The singer ignored the warnings and believed that their love was strong, but the partner still left, proving everyone right, making the singer feel foolish. The last verse speaks of the singer being unable to be free even though they are on their own; they still love and live for their partner, even though they are no longer together.
"Everybody Knows" talks about the pain and heartbreak that comes with the end of a relationship, and how it feels when everyone around you can see and understand the pain. The song serves as a reminder that sometimes love doesn't always last, and that heartbreak is a natural part of life.
