Everybody's Talking

Perry Como · Other Songs - Perry Como

Everybody's talkin' at me

I don't hear a word they're sayin'

only the echoes of my mind!



People stop an' starin'

I can't even see their faces

only the shadows of their eyes!



Goin' where the sun keeps a-shinin'

through the pouring rain

goin' where the weather suits my clothes!



Bankin' off the north-east wind

sailin' on a summer breeze

skippin' over the ocean like a stone!



< instrumental break >



Goin' where the sun keeps shinin'

through the pouring rain

goin' where the weather suits my clothes!



Bankin' off the north-east wind

sailin' on a summer breeze

skippin' over the ocean like a stone!



Everybody's talkin' at me

I don't hear a word they're sayin'

only the echoes of my mind!



I won't leave my love behind

No, I won't leave my love behind . . .



Everybody's talkin' at me . . .
