Everybody must be on drugs in this town .
  Or maybe there's a strange new bug that been goin'round .
  'Cos people all smile and wavin' as I go by .
  Everybody loves me . . . . but I don't know why .
  
  It used to be a kind face was a rarity
  but now I got friends comin' out both ends just to visit me
  Now it don't make sense 'cos my confidence has been destroyed
  Everybody loves me . . . . or am I paranoid ?
  
  Whatever happened to the cold cruel world I used to understand
  when every road was paved with wet cement ?
  Oooh , you remember . . .
  back when if I was hanging off a cliff you'd be walkin' on my hands
  Won't somebody please tell me where all the good times went ? !
  
  Everytime I needed something no one ever gave me nothin' -
  it'd never fail .
  I'd have to sit right down and write myself a letter
  just to get mail .
  But now my ears are ringin'
  with the damn ding-a-lingin' of the telephone
  Everybody loves me but I'm comin' home !
