"Everybody's Problem" lyrics - PULP

Standing there before you
Defences thrown aside
I thought I heard you laughing
But when I asked you said you'd cried
I wanted to believe you
Yes I wanted to feel strong
But looking at my picture
I realised I must be wrong
Sounds so weak
It sounds so fey
It doesn't sound like what I meant to say
I speak to you
With a borrowed tongue
Shall I stop right now or blindly carry on?
Choose one [?]
But I'm not everyone
I only have one viewpoint
Don't talk to me of right or wrong
And didn't I often tell you
Oh didn't I often say
That something in your manner
That really takes my breath away?
It's not weak to show I care
I know of those who wouldn't even bear
The fact remains
I feel a need
Is it love or is it simply greed?
It's not weak to show I care
I know of those who wouldn't even bear
The fact remains
I feel a need
Is it love or is it simply greed?
You choose what you believe in
As far as I'm concerned
But one thing I can tell you is innocence cannot be learned
I wish you'd stop me talking
Oh I wish you'd shut my mouth
Well the reason why I tell you
Is I think that you could help me out
And if you do then there's no doubt
That all my problems won't just fly away.
