Sweetheart On Parade

Judy Collins · Home Again [1990]

Everybody loves to love



The local girl made good



Surely I'd find peace of mind



If anybody could



Still at times I find myself



Wishing they were right



If everybody loves me



Where are they tonight?



Everybody loves to love



The sweetheart on parade



Out there on the stage tonight



The girl who's got it made



But after the applause is gone



I sometimes wish I knew



Why everybody loves me



And I love only you



Haven't I got all the things success alone can give?



Wouldn't everybody love to lead the life I live?



All I need is someone I can share it with



But how they love to love



The golden girl next door



Up there with her name in lights



Now who could ask for more?



Still I can't help wondering



Why it should be true



That everybody loves me



Everyone but you



Haven't I got all the things success alone can give?



Wouldn't everybody love to lead the life I live?



All I need is someone I can share it with



Everybody loves me, everyone but you
