Everybody Knows Lyrics
Wish they hadn't seen him walk away,
And heard me beg him, "Stay.
Please stay."
Why? Why did we choose this crowded place?
They all know it,
'Cause I show it in my face.
Everybody knows you said goodbye.
Everybody knows we're through.
Now they all can see the tears I cry,
Running down my face for you.
They all said, "It's too good to be true.
He'll make a fool of you one day."
I just laughed and said our love was strong,
But you left me,
And they all know I was wrong.
Everybody knows you tired of me.
Everybody knows we're through.
Though I'm on my own, I can't be free.
Baby, I just live for you.
Everybody knows you said goodbye.
Everybody knows we're through...
And heard me beg him, "Stay.
Please stay."
Why? Why did we choose this crowded place?
They all know it,
'Cause I show it in my face.
Everybody knows we're through.
Now they all can see the tears I cry,
Running down my face for you.
He'll make a fool of you one day."
I just laughed and said our love was strong,
But you left me,
And they all know I was wrong.
Everybody knows we're through.
Though I'm on my own, I can't be free.
Baby, I just live for you.
Everybody knows we're through...

I, for one, am surprised at Engelbert Humperdinck's use of the word "he". Am I just reading too much into things and/or misinterpreting, or does the use of "he" with a male singer not imply a relationship between the singer and "him"?
