Everybody Gotta Know - Joan Armatrading

I’ve done it myself

I’ve done things

I never thought I would do

We all make mistakes

And I’m no exception

Sometimes

I think I’ve told it all

So plainly

But there’s no one there

To hear the words I say

Sometimes

It all sounds so crazy

Your version of the story

That I know

Oh when your memory

Fails you

Everybody

Gotta know this feeling

Everybody gotta know

Everybody gotta know this feeling

Inside

I’ve been there myself

I have been some place

I never would go to

Just not my style

But persuasion made me

Open my mind

Sometimes

I think I know it all so clearly

But then someone comes

And shows another way

Sometimes

I think that I am going crazy

My character changes

For one day

Oh when your habits fail you

Everybody

Gotta know this feeling

Everybody gotta know

Everybody gotta know this feeling

Inside
