Bobby Womack Lyrics
"Everybody's Talking"

(originally by Fred Neil)

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind

Listen to me
People stop and stare
But I don't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

Here's what I gotta do
Well, I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off the northeast wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
Look at me
Skipping over the ocean like a stone

Well, I'm goin' where that sun keep shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off the northeast wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
Look at me
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody put your hands together and clap, woh

Everybody's talkin' at me
But I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind

People, people stoppin', starin'
But I don't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes, yeah

Everybody's talkin' at me
Everybody's talkin' at me
Everybody's talkin' at me
