EVERYBODY'S GIRL
(words and music by Rick Springfield)
Well, who'd have believed this seasoned connoisseur
lady-killer like me
Would get hurt by a girl like you
And they got names for dirty little girls like you, honey
It ain't nice though, but they call you Everybody's Girl
And they say, "Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, here she
comes"
And they say, " Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes"
There goes Everybody's Girl
Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl"
You might say I was blind for a while
I fell asleep at the driving wheel
You sure woke me up in a hurry, honey
And I can't blame anyone but me I know
Well, it's my fault for falling for Everybody's Girl
And they say, "He's the one, he's the one, he's the one, he's the one"
And they say, "He's the one, he's the one, he's the one, he's the one"
He got screwed by Everybody's Girl
Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl
You got no apparent sensitivity
You're cut deep with self-destructivity
Your mind's made up, you're heading for the time
When you'll shake and your heart breaks
It's gonna come…
Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl
Everybody's Girl, Everybody's Girl
Everybody's Girl , you know the time's gonna come
Everybody's Girl, you can't keep doing this forever
Everybody's Girl, you're gonna take it on the chin
Everybody's Girl, you're gonna get it!

This is my favorite song on WCD!!!
I love it...love the way he sounds when he sings it..love the words. I
thought he was such a genius because he used "connoisseur" in a song!!!
I think this is my second favorite
song on WCD, I love the opening line, because he seems to be saying it so tongue in cheek,
but we all do pretty much think he's a "lady killer". Again, another
heartbreak song.
This song is one of my favorites on
WCD.......even though Rick meets the wrong girl again. I love the first line. There
is something about the way he sings "seasoned connoisseur lady-killer like me".
<Deep sigh>
I love this song and for no particular
reason. The sound of the music, the words are very melodic and just catch you and
Rick's ability to tell the story of getting hurt. Okay, so maybe I did come up with
some reasons. He really makes you feel the pain when he sings this one. I LOVE IT!
SONG FACTS:
Rick performed this song during Live and
Kickin' and now performs it as part of a Medley at some of his
concerts. He also performed a part of this song, alone and not part of the
Medley during the acoustic show he did in Cleveland on 8/11/00.
It appears on the following
