 I've worn out all of your records
 
 I've torn out page after page
 
 I have lain with the shadows you threw
 when you danced with the bright  colored
 
 lights of the stage
 hey and aren't you grateful?
 say and ain't you got fun?
 being so good at what you do
 doing it right in front of everyone
 riff /
 everybody knows you
/
 I want to know you!
 (same as 1st verse and chorus)
 how you roll like the rolling waters
 you rise like the bright morning stars
 you go fast like the freight train going so fast
 and I don't even know who you are
 but I would not disappoint you
 if you let me kiss your mouth
 if you let me get to the bottom of you
 if you let me find you out
 everybody knows you
 nobody knows you!
 everybody knows you
 I want to know you!
 
 o, but I, in the name of my namesake
 
 am a beautiful fly on the wall of
 
 your four-chambered heart-break
 
 a spy in the house of your love
