Everybody Knows
Susan's Room
Maybe you didn't see me tie my napkin in knots
I spilled my wine when you looked at me
I hid my mouth a lot
Maybe not
Outside - this crowded street - does it cover me?
Who sees me unravelling
Shaking as you speak?
Some girl glides by and meets my eye
Everybody knows
Maybe she recalls that little giddiness
That rises as you fall
Well, it happens and it happens
And when it happens everybody -
Maybe you choose not to see
Maybe you see through me but you're polite
When I look up you're watching me
You smile and say "Good night"
And the doorman turns to meet my eye
Oh, everybody knows
Maybe she recalls that little giddiness...
BRIDGE
Would you tell him we were just fooling around?
Would you tell him we were just having some fun?
Would you tell him we were just fooling around?
Would he tell you that I was breaking down?
Maybe that's the way it is
It ends so suddenly
If I drew you a diagram could I draw you to me?
Why don't you recall that little giddiness
That rises as you fall?
It happens and it happens...
