Can't Please Everybody

Bendin' over backwards
You walk on shells
Like a prisoner
But it's shaky ground
When you livin'
in a house of cards

Your nerves are shot
You can barely cope
(You're) spread so thin
Like a tightrope
Trippin' over yourself
To make sure
you never miss a mark

Don't you know

You can't please everybody
No you can't please everybody
No matter how hard ya try

Whatcha lookin' at me for
I used my tears
To mop the floor
One stick one stone
Ain't enough
To make me fall apart

Somebody waits for you
With a crown
And somebody else
Wants to take ya down
It don't matter
Which side of the fence
that you choose to ride

Don't you know

You can't please everybody
No you can't please everybody
No matter how hard ya try

You need someone
To hold your hand
Someone to understand
But you tiptoin'
Tryin' to find
It's just
A waste of time
So many people up
In your face
Only hold ya back
Only slow your pace
You'll lose it
If ya keep on tryin'

Hey hey hey
Don't you know
You can't please everybody
No you
Can't please everybody
No matter how hard ya try
