[Verse 1]
Money moans, calls you home
Vacant eyes, they won't tell a soul
You fooled me once, now I'm twice as old
[Pre-Chorus 1]
See, I ain't gonna lie, but I ain't gonna phone you
No, I ain't gonna try to forget what I've gone through
Got a little box, yeah, that I'm gonna open
Take your promises, 'cause they've all been broken
[Chorus]
Everybody knows about what you do
Everybody saw and sold the truth
I was young and gullible, but baby, I grew
Now the whole world's watching you
[Verse 2]
Hands to the bone, hands to the heart
Bodies alone, they hide in the dark

[Pre-Chorus 2]
See, I ain't gonna lie but I ain't gonna hold back
Or try to deny you turned a damn good heart black
I got a little box, yeah, that I'm gonna take back
Don't make your promises, 'cause I'm finished with all that
[Chorus]
Everybody knows about what you do
Everybody saw and sold the truth
I was young and gullible, but baby, I grew
And now the whole world's watching you
Everybody knows about what you do
Everybody saw and sold the truth
I was young and gullible, but baby, I grew
And now the whole world's watching you
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
