Dr. Hook - Everybody loves me - 1996 digital remaster lyrics

Everybody must be on d** 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
