Everybody Wants To Call You Sweetheart

(album: Nice To Be Around - 1974)

Everybody wants to get your number down
Everybody wants you for their own
I'm in the middle just trying to hold to what's not gone
But it's hard when you try to keep a wild horse down
Running through the brush with your feet tied down

Couldn't anybody help me, please?
Come and open up my eyes to see
Couldn't anyone around
Come and show me what I found
And tell me what to do 'cause

Everybody wants to call you sweetheart, sweetheart
Everybody wants to know your name
Everybody wants to call you sweetheart, sweetheart
But I just can't stop feeling the same

I knew you were trouble when you came to my front door
I knew I should've turned and walked away
You said don't worry and then my heart began to soar
And my mind started reeling and my body felt weak
Another round of love and some more lost sleep

Couldn't anybody help me, please?
Come and open up my eyes to see
Couldn't anyone around
Come and show me what I found
And tell me what to do 'cause

Everybody wants to call you sweetheart, sweetheart
Everybody wants to know your name
Everybody wants to call you sweetheart, sweetheart
But I just can't stop feeling the same

Everybody wants to call you sweetheart, sweetheart
Everybody wants to know your name
Everybody wants to call you sweetheart, sweetheart
But I just can't stop feeling the same

Everybody wants to call you sweetheart, sweetheart
Everybody wants to know your name
Everybody wants to call you sweetheart, sweetheart
But I just can't stop feeling the same
