Billy Joel - Everybody Loves You Now

Baby all the lights are turned on you 
Now you're in the center of the stage 
Everything revolves on what you do 
Ah, you are in your prime; you've come of age 
 
And you can always have your way somehow 
But everybody loves you now 
 
You can walk away from your mistakes 
You can turn your back on what you do 
Just a little smile is all it takes 
Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too 
 
Loneliness will get to you somehow 
But everybody loves you now 
 
Ah, they all want your white body
And they await your reply 
Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry 
So do I 
 
All the people want to know your name 
Soon there will be lines outside your door 
Feelings do not matter in your game 
Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore 
 
So your life is only living anyhow 
And everybody loves you now 
 
Close your eyes when you don't want to see 
Stay at home when you don't want to go 
Only speak to those who will agree 
Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know 
 
You have lost you innocence somehow 
But everybody loves you now 
 
Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever 
And it's all been done before 
Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor 
No more 
 
See how all the people gather 'round
Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl? 
Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down 
Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall 
 
This is what you wanted; ain't you proud? 
'Cause everybody loves you now
