VERSE 1
I got a story to tell
From back in the day
You probably won’t remember
And it might be hard to take
If you had a mirror
With you in high school
You’d see me walking in the shadows right there
Walkin’ right next to you
CHORUS 1
Well let me tell you now…
I know’d it all along
That’s why I wrote this song
The things you eat, the clothes you wear
The color of your car
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
Yeah you!
VERSE 2
A couple years down the road
You moved way out west
I see you made it out to LA
Hooking up with the best
They’re all over you
Just like back in school
You got a place of your own
And they’ll never, ever leave you alone
CHORUS 2
Well let me tell you now…
I know’d it all along
Life ain’t treating you wrong
The places you been, I knew you when
And now you’re the star
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
BREAKS
CHORUS 3
I finally got you on the phone
You seemed glad to get my call
Until I started talking ’bout me
But you didn’t hear nothing at all
CHORUS 3
Well let me tell you now
We’d known it all along
What’s keeping you strong
Your vanity, for the world to see
It’s in your blood
And everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
Yeah you!
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
Woh Oh Yeah!
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
You you you you
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
You you you you
