Everybody Loves Me Lyrics - Dr. Hook

Everybody must be on drugs in this town 

Or maybe there's a strange new bug that's been going 'round 

'Cause people are all smiling and waving as I go by 

Everybody loves me but I don't know why 

It used to be a kind face, was a rarity 

But now I got friends coming out both ends just to visit me 

But it don't make sense 'cause my confidence has been destroyed 

Everybody loves me but I'm paranoid 

What ever happened to the cold cruel world I used to understand 

When every road was paved with wet cement 

Back when if I was hanging off a cliff you'd be walking on my hands 

Somebody please tell me where all the good times went, whoo 

Every time I needed something 

No one'd ever give me nothing, it'd never fail 

I had to sit right down and write myself a letter just to get mail 

But now my ears are singing 

From the damn ding-a-linging of the telephone 

Everybody loves me but I'm comin' home 

What ever happened to the cold cruel world I used to understand 

When every road was paved with wet cement 

Back when if I was hanging off a cliff you'd be dancin' on my hands 

Somebody please tell me where all the good times went, whoo 

Every time I needed something 

No one'd ever give me nothing, it'd never fail 

I had to sit right down and write myself a letter just to get mail 

But now my ears are singing 

From the damn ding-a-linging of the telephone 

Everybody loves me but I'm comin' home
