Music by Elton John Lyrics by Gary Osborne Everybody loves to love The local girl made good Surely I'd find peace of mind If anybody could Still at times I find myself Wishing they were right If everybody loves me Where are they tonight Everybody loves to love the sweetheart on parade Out there on the stage tonight The girl who's got it made But after the applause is gone I sometimes wish I knew Why everybody loves me And I love only you Haven't I got all the things Success alone can give Wouldn't everybody love To lead the life I live All I need is someone I can share it with But how they love to love The golden girl next door Up there with her name in lights Now who could ask for more Still I can't help wondering Why it should be true That everybody loves me
