Everybody Wants You
Gretchen Wilson Lyrics

You see 'em comin' at you every night
You have a lot of people interested in you and they often approach you without hesitation, especially at night.

Strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight
These people are often pretentious and superficial, but they become enamored by you immediately.

You know their business, you think it's a bore
Despite their interest in you, you find their lives and agendas uninteresting and tedious.

They make you restless, it's nothin' you ain't seen before
Their constant pursuit causes you to feel uneasy, but you've seen it all before so it doesn't faze you too much.

Get around town, spend your time on the run
You are always on the go from one place to another, trying to make the most of your time.

You never let down, say you do it for fun
You're always on the move and never want to disappoint, but it's all in good fun for you.

Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
Despite being busy, you make sure to attend every event even though you can't make them all.

You give it all away - everybody wants you
You are very giving and often share your time, energy, and resources with others, which is why everyone wants you around.

You crave attention, you can never say 'no'
You love attention and have a hard time turning people down.

Throw your affections any way the wind blows
You are open with your feelings and are willing to give your affection to anyone.

You always make it, you're on top of the scene
You are always successful and well-known, on top of the trends and social scene.

You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine
You are so popular that whatever you do becomes a headline story, much like the cover of a magazine.

Puttin' on the eyes 'til there's nobody else
You seduce others with your eyes and keep their attention until there's no one left around you.

You never realize what you do to yourself
You are so busy pleasing others and being popular that you don't realize how much it drains you and affects your own well-being.

The things that they see make the daily reviews
People are always watching and reviewing your every move, and it often has a huge impact on your life.

You never get free - everybody wants you
You can never escape from the attention and demands of others because everyone wants you around all the time.

Everybody knows you
You are well-known and recognized by everyone.

Everybody snows you
Even though people know who you are, they often pull the wool over your eyes and deceive you.

Everybody needs you, leads you, bleeds you
Everyone always needs something from you, trying to take advantage of your giving nature, and it wears you down over time.

Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
You often experience confusion and have unrealistic dreams, usually alone at night.

Days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams
You have to work hard every day to maintain your image and appearance, fixing yourself up here and there.

You got your glory, you paid for it all
You have achieved fame and success, but it has come at a cost to your well-being and personal life.

You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
You know your popularity won't last forever, so you rely on alcohol to cope with the loneliness and emptiness that will come when you're no longer in the spotlight.

Say goodbye to conventional ways
You've moved away from traditional lifestyles and are living a life where you are constantly in the public eye.

You can't escape the hours, you lose track of the days
You are always busy and working, and time seems to fly by without you even realizing it.

The more you understand, seems the more like you do
The more you understand about people's demands and the lifestyle you've chosen, the more you realize it will never stop.

You never get away, everybody wants you
You cannot escape the fame and attention as everyone wants to be a part of your life in some way or another.
