Everybody Wants
The Moog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I have got to see
How rude I was to all your friends
Oh please, the only thing I need
Is to make you believe
That I will never care about that
Me to be like those who I have never loved
Oh why is it so hard to understand
That I don't feel the same
Sorry for being
So careless and sneering
This night taught me
(That) I don't belong to you
The same clubs and same drinks
The same people who think
That I'm shallow and irritating
Everybody wants
Me to be like those who I have never loved
Oh why is it so hard to understand
That I don't feel the same
In The Moog's song Everybody Wants, the lyrics depict a disagreement between two people in a romantic relationship.

You keep on telling me
You continuously remind me
That I have got to see
That I need to realize
How rude I was to all your friends
How disrespectful I acted towards your acquaintances
Oh please, the only thing I need
All I want is
Is to make you believe
To ensure that you trust
That I will never care about that
I will never bother about that
Everybody wants
Everyone desires
Me to be like those who I have never loved
To mimic those whom I never liked
Oh why is it so hard to understand
Why is it difficult to comprehend
That I don't feel the same
That I do not share the same feelings
Sorry for being
Apologies for acting
So careless and sneering
Negligent and contemptuous
This night taught me
I learned tonight
(That) I don't belong to you
That I am not suitable for you
The same clubs and same drinks
The identical bars and beverages
The same people who think
The similar individuals who consider
That I'm shallow and irritating
That I am superficial and annoying
