Bendin' over backwards
You walk on shells like a prisoner
But it's shaky ground when you livin' in a house of cardsYour nerves are shot, you can barely cope
You're spread so thin like a tightrope
Trippin' over yourself to make sure you never miss a markDon't you know
Hey, you can't please everybody?
No, you can't please everybody
No, no matter how hard you tryHey, hey, hey, you can't
You can't please everybody
No, you can't please everybody
Oh, no matter how hard you tryWhatcha lookin' at me for?
I used my tears to mop the floor
One stick, one stone ain't enough to make me fall apartSomebody waits for you with a crown
Somebody else wants to take you down
It don't matter which side of the fence that you choose to rideDon't you know
You can't, you can't please everybody?
No, you can't please everybody
Oh, no matter how hard you tryHey, hey, hey, you can't
You can't please everybody
No, you can't please everybody
No matter how hard you tryYou need someone to hold your hand
Someone to understand
But you tiptoeing tryin' to find, it's just a waste of timeSo many people up in your face
Only hold you back, only slow your pace
You'll lose it if you keep on tryin'Don't you know
You can't please everybody?
No, you can't please everybody
Oh, no matter, no matter, no matter how hard you tryYou can't please everybody
Oh no, you can't please everybody
No matter, no matter, no matter how hard you try
No matter, no matter, no matter how hard you try
