Left alone I just hurt myself Take a bottle down from the shelf And raise a toast to my own health, not you Was it really only me 'Cause it takes two to disagree So let's stay close and we'll both be free That's true I can't be everything to everyone I can't be everything to everyone I don't know why I always try to please everyone around me I can't be everything to everyone I don't do the things I should I don't work as hard as I could What are you doing in my neck of the woods Tell me Was it just a lesson learned? Or just a pile of money earned? 'Cause now I'm waiting on you like a tax return That's true I can't be everything to everyone I can't be everything to everyone I don't know why I always try to please everyone around me I can't be everything to everyone I was wealthy and I didn't even know it My whole life a magnum I'm on it The only thing I'm in need of is a little tiny piece of your love The only thing I'm in need of is a little tiny piece of your love I had it all and lost my way And now I can't find the words to say I feel lucky that I'm even here today That's true I can't be everything to everyone I can't be everything to everyone I don't know why I always try to please everyone around me I can't be everything to everyone Everything to everyone Everything to everyone Everything to everyone I can't be everything to everyone
