The Man Who Knew Too Much…About Everyone Else
[Long Intro] [Verse 1] I walked down the street, it was barely noon A lady stopped me way too soon She said, “You won’t believe what happened to me!” She told me her whole life story A man with a hat, a suitcase, and shoes Spilled all his secrets about his failed romance too I tried to escape, I tried to run But everybody’s story had only begun [Chorus] I’m the man who knew too much… about everyone else I’m the man who knew too much… can’t even help myself Every secret, every tear, every crazy little tale I’m the man who knew too much… and I’m about to bail! [Verse 2] A kid on a bike stopped and he cried Told me about his teacher who lied A baker, a banker, a clown from the fair Everybody unloads, and I’m stuck there! My head is spinning, my ears are fried I just wanted peace, I just wanted to hide I begged for mercy, I pleaded, I groaned But nobody leaves me alone [Chorus] I’m the man who knew too much… about everyone else I’m the man who knew too much… can’t even help myself Every secret, every tear, every crazy little tale I’m the man who knew too much… and I’m about to bail! [Bridge] They spill their secrets, their heartbreak, their shame Every street corner, it’s always the same I nod, I smile, I pretend I care But I’m drowning in life’s despair! [Long Solo] [Verse 3] I lost my cool, I yelled, “I can take no more!” Gave my poor dog a kick on the floor But that little beast had a vendetta in mind Bit me right back—on my behind! [Outro] I’m the man who knew too much… about everyone else I’m the man who knew too much… can’t even help myself Every secret, every tear, all their crazy rants I’m the man who knew too much… Now there’s a hole in the back of my pants! [Outro] [End Song] [End]
