Everybody Loves Me (Everyone But You)

You know I really can't complain
Yeah things are going great
'Cause I've been holding up my end
And I've been carrying my weight
And I've heard from each and every person underneath the sun
But not a word from you
The most important one

And they've been calling up my telephone and writing me letters
They ask me how I've been
I tell them "Never been better"
'Cause there's no mountain I can't climb
No there's nothing I can't do
And everybody loves me
Everyone but you

It's a little bittersweet when someone mentions your name
And I got pictures in my wallet, babe
But it really ain't the same
And I can write a couple rhymes
But I can't solve all of your problems
And I think about the good times
And I hope they're not forgotten

And I've been signing down my name
And I've answering these questions
I got people from my yesterday
That swear to God I met them
A top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art
Everything in sight,
I got clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
'Cause living like a king
You know it comes to me naturally
And soon I'll have a street in New York City named after me
They're handing me a million things I know I'll never use
But it still don't mean a thing because I haven't heard from you

It's easy to be happy
Feel like a superman
When everybody's telling me
How wonderful I am
And you might catch me blushing
Or a little bit amused
But it really don't mean nothing
If you don't feel it too
