Everybody Gotta Know

I've done it myself
I've done things
I never thought I would do
We all make mistakes
And I'm no exception
Sometimes
I think I've told it all
So plainly
But there's no one there
To hear the words I say
Sometimes
It all sounds so crazy
Your version of the story
That I know
Oh when your memory
Fails you

Everybody
Gotta know this feeling
Everybody gotta know
Everybody gotta know this feeling
Inside

I've been there myself
I have been some place
I never would go to
just not my style
but persuasion made me
Open my mind
Sometimes
I think I know it all so clearly
But then someone comes
And shows another way
Sometimes
I think that I am going crazy
My character changes
For one day
Oh when your habits fail you

Everybody
Gotta know this feeling
Everybody gotta know
Everybody gotta know this feeling
Inside
