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

Hey, you can't please everybody?

No, you can't please everybody

No, no matter how hard you try

Hey, hey, hey, you can't

You can't please everybody

No, you can't please everybody

Oh, no matter how hard you 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

Somebody else wants to take you down

It don't matter which side of the fence that you choose to ride

Don't you know

You can't, you can't please everybody?

No, you can't please everybody

Oh, no matter how hard you try

Hey, hey, hey, you can't

You can't please everybody

No, you can't please everybody

No matter how hard you try

You need someone to hold your hand

Someone to understand

But you tiptoeing tryin' to find, it's just a waste of time

So many people up in your face

Only hold you back, only slow your pace

You'll lose it if you keep on tryin'

Don't you know

You can't please everybody?

No, you can't please everybody

Oh, no matter, no matter, no matter how hard you try

You can't please everybody

Oh no, you can't please everybody

No matter, no matter, no matter how hard you try

No matter, no matter, no matter how hard you try
