Everybody Laughed But You

Everybody laughed when I told them I wanted you, I wanted you Everybody grinned they humored me They thought that someone had spiked my tea Everybody screamed they told me you Would cost the moon, we'll be there soon Everybody laughed till they were blue They didn't believe my words were true Everybody laughed but you It's easy to lose touch with all the friends You like so much or liked so much Everybody laughed they couldn't take me seriously Abandoned me Sometimes I would read of things they'd done in magazines They made the scene Everybody left with such important things to do But I'm not blue Everybody left but you Everybody left but you Many years have passed And some have fallen by the way I heard them say Everybody dreamed but those who fell Are sleeping now, they're sleeping now Everybody climbed like ivy to the top most branch It was their chance Everybody grasped till they were through It's all they thought that they could do Cause everybody fell Everybody fell Everybody fell but you --- Everybody Laughed But You - Sting
