Joan Armatrading Lyrics
"Everybody Gotta Know"

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
It's 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

Everybody gotta know this feeling
Everybody gotta know
Everybody gotta know this feeling inside

Everybody gotta know this feeling
Everybody gotta know
Everybody gotta know this feeling inside
Everybody gotta know this feeling
