Lyrics for Everybody's Next One
She's all alone, just lost another one Met him yesterday and he's already gone And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time A smiling face will come that knows the right line And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one 'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some She tries too hard and she comes on too strong Digs herself too much and thinks she can't be wrong She's too impressed by things that do not matter To be the Queen of hearts is what she's after. And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one 'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some Repeat
