Jennifer Hudson
Everybody Loves You Now (SMASH Cast Version)
[KYLE]
Baby, all the lights are turned on you
Now you're in the center of the stage
Everything revolves on what you do
Ah, you are in your prime
You've come of age

You can always have your way somehow
'Cause everybody loves you now

You can walk away from your mistakes
You can turn your back on what you do
Just a little smile is all it takes
And you can have your cake and eat it too

Oh, loneliness will get to you somehow
But everybody loves you now

[Verse 3: Andy Mientus]
Ah, they all want your body
And they await your reply
Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry
So do I

All the people wanna know your name
And soon there will be lines outside your door
Feelings do not matter in your game
Yea, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore
So your life is only living anyhow
And everybody loves you now

[VERONICA]
Close your eyes when you don't want to see
And stay at home when you don't want to go
Only speak to those who will agree
Yeah, and close your mind when you don't wanna know

Ah, you have lost your innocence somehow
But everybody loves you now

I know that nothing lasts forever
And it's all been done before
Ah, but you ain't got the time to tell me who you used to be
Anymore

See how all the people gather around
Oh isn't it a thrill to see them crawl?
Ah, keep your eyes ahead and don't look down
Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall

Ah, this is what you wanted, ain't you proud?
'Cause everybody loves you now
'Cause ev'rybody loves you now
