Ricky Murray - Why Can't Everyone Be Like You Lyrics

Tell me what you are really thinking
Don't pander around because you will only disappoint me

I'll be happy in the long run
If you talk to me straight
I know you do
But why can't everyone be like you

Why can't people say that they will not be there?
If only they told the truth, then I would not have to think less of them

But they don't
So I do
And then things change between us
In our minds at least
Why can't everyone be like you

It is up to them if they want to attend
As it sorts them into
Who I think are my friends
From the ones who really are

I don't care if they come
Just as long as they let me know
It's not hard to do
So why can't everyone be like you

We don't have to see each other every day
We have our own lives to lead
And naturally we have grown apart

Something I cannot stand is when people
Say that they are going, knowing full well that they will not

All in all
Too Many people
Say what they do not mean
It's not hard to do
But why can't everyone be like you
It's not hard to do
But why can't everyone be like you
I am done
With everyone
But
You
