Everybody's talkin', ain't nobody tellin' the truth
Everybody's talkin', they don't really want the truth
They need to mind their own business
They don't know the trouble that I've been through

Everybody's talkin', they don't tell the story right, mmm-hmm
Everybody's talkin', they don't want the story right
It's hard to live your life in colour
And tell the truth in black and white

Yeah, I hear the wolf's a-howlin', I feel so all alone
Someone don't come to save me, they'll find this man is dead and gone

The whole damn world's a mine field and I'm tryin' to watch my step
I want someone to count on when I need a little help

Yeah I hear the wolf's a-howlin' and I feel so all alone
Well, if someone don't come and save me they'll find this man is dead and gone

Everybody's talkin', nobody tellin' the truth, ooh-ooh
Everybody's talkin', don't really wanna know the truth
They need to mind their own business
They don't know the troubles that I've been through
