This is how it feels when people say they love your music but don't want to buy any.

lyrics

Everyone Loves You (but Nobody Wants You Around)

© Andy Ard (BMI)

I wear my welcome out good
Maybe I’m just from the wrong neighborhood
They say I’m alright, at least to my face
But it seems they want me out of their place
I know, I know, it’s all in my mind
My enemies are the imaginary kind

But still I’m alone, hearing the sound
Everyone loves you but nobody wants you around

The pleasantries they toss in the air
They can keep it in their derriere
I’ve got two words for anybody who thinks
That I don’t see their little nods and winks
I’m no good to them, at least not locally
It doesn’t mean they don’t admire me

Cause I’m washed out, flattery-drowned
Everyone loves you but nobody wants you around

You can’t miss it, That contemptible smile
It only lasts a little uncomfortable while
When they finally get me on my way
I swear I hear a muffled “hip-hip hooray”

[Instrumental]

You’d think I’d learned my lesson, but
That don’t change the feeling in my gut
There’s too much corroboration of my flaws
I can even hear it in their hems and haws
I blow it sometimes, and they say to me
You’ve got delusions of mediocrity

Yeah, even my own dog thinks I’m a hound
Everyone loves you but nobody wants you
Everyone loves you but nobody wants you
Everyone loves you but nobody wants you around
