Lyrics for Everybody's Next One
She's all alone she's lost another one Letting yesterday be now he's already gone And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time Find it pays will come there goes the right line Then she'll do all the right things at the wrong guy And when he's gone next day she'll say I wonder why She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one Cos she's afraid of the truth it's gonna hurt some All the pay in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realise that to keep on her ways have to change some She tries too hard and she comes on too strong Thinks herself too much and thinks she can't be wrong She's doing first the things that do not matter To be the queen of hearts is what she's after Then she'll do all the right things at the wrong guy And when he's gone next day she'll say I wonder why She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one Cos she's afraid of the truth it's gonna hurt some All the pay in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realise that to keep on her ways have to change some
