Everybody Knew But Me - Chico Debarge

Ooh, ooh, baby, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Listen, baby

Have to write you this letter

To get something off my chest

Never had the chance to tell you

How I really felt

When you up and disappeared

Out of the blue

You just left

Guess you lied when you said

«The only thing that could separate us was death»

Cause you spread your wings

Like a bird in the sky

Kept pushing on

Never slowing down or looking behind

I had to find

That you moved on

Through the grapevine

Cause you never say goodbye (ye-ye-ye)

First, you told Tanika

Tanika told Rashonda

And Joy

Then Joy told Vanessa

Vanessa told LaTina

That you were gone

You were gone

Everybody knew that you moved on

Without me

Without me

Everybody knew that you moved on

But me

So much time has then since passed us by

Since I last held you

In these arms and called you mine, baby

I still remember

After the movies, we rode through the park, babe

And we’d be sexin'

Late in the booth after dark (ah)

We’d take a shower

Gently bathing one another (lover)

Exploring each other’s bodies

Like the first time

Sided lovers

And, oh, how it felt (uhn)

When we engaged in the act

Do I ever cross your mind like that?

Oh, oh, ohhh, baby

First you told Tanika

Tanika told Rashonda

And Joy

Then Joy told Vanessa

Vanessa told LaTina

That you were gone

You were gone

Everybody knew that you moved on

Without me

Without me

Everybody knew that you moved on

But me

First you told Tanika

Tanika told Rashonda

And Joy

Then Joy told Vanessa

Vanessa told LaTina

That you were gone

You were gone

Everybody knew that you moved on

Without me

Without me

Everybody knew that you moved on

Uh, eh

Oh, uh

Oh, uh

Oh, uh

Oh, uh

Oh, uh

Oh, uh

Oh

Baby, baby, babe

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Baby

Ah, ah

Oh, babe

Alright

Oh

Oh

Ohh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh, babe

First you told Tanika

Tanika told Rashonda

And Joy

Then Joy told Vanessa

Vanessa told LaTina

That you were gone

You were gone

Everybody knew that you moved on

Without me

Without me

Everybody knew that you moved on

You left me standing alone in the cold

I’m a man

And a man ain’t supposed to cry

About losing a woman

I’d rather lay down and die
