Hold up, don’t be mad,
I’ve got some news but it isn’t bad,
Exactly,
It’s just, you’re on your phone a lot less than I
And so this thing might have passed you by.
The other night when we were both at the gala,
I never knew,
Selena Gomez took a pic of me staring at you
And put it up on her Instagram for all to see,
And wrote, “Why can’t someone look like that
at me?”
And within about an hour, yikes,
It had 47 million likes
And a national conversation
About my look
In the pic that Selena took,
And I never told them, but everybody knows,
Everybody knows that I love you.
I never told them, but everybody knows,
Everybody knows how I feel.
I was hoping
You were unaware
Of what I’d never dare express…
Nevertheless,
Apparently it shows,
‘Cause everybody knows.
All right, now look, what I meant,
This doesn’t have to be a big event,
I know it’s been re-grammed, re-posted and
retweeted,
But I’m expecting you to still delete it.
I mean, I’ve been staring like that for at least
a year
And you don’t even know I’m here,
So in spite of all the encouragement the
commenters wrote us,
You can keep on pretending not to notice.
But hey, in case the public response
Makes the lady reconsider what she wants,
I am ready and willing, completely gratis,
To change your relationship status.
I never told you but everybody knows,
Everybody knows that I love you.
I never told you but everybody knows
Everybody knows how I feel.
I was planning
Just to lay down dead
If you never read the clues,
But based on the news,
I might as well propose
‘Cause everybody knows.
I never told them but everybody knows
Everybody knows how I love you.
I never told you but everybody knows
Everybody knows how I feel.
I was dreaming
That you’d be in sync
With what I’d been thinking of –
‘Cause people say that love
Invariably grows
When everybody knows…
And everybody knows.
