Morning number 32 waking up without you Mama's on the telephone She says she's got a plan She knows a nice young man Honey if I come back home [Chorus] Everybody knows, everybody knows Everybody knows what to do about my misery Everybody but me Well all the girls at work say just forget the jerk I feel better now Even my preacher cares, said all I need is prayer And everything will just work out [Chorus] Everybody knows, everybody knows Everybody knows what to do about my misery Yeah everybody but me Well I don't want a shrink Don't even want a drink Give me some chocolate and a magazine I'll learn to live without you Don't want to talk about you But I can't even walk down the street [Chorus: x2] Everybody knows, yeah!
