James Taylor
"Like Everyone She Knows"

Like everyone she knows, she's holding out for true love,
waiting on an answer, ready for a change.
And everywhere she goes, she's just a little bit on the lookout
A day might mean tomorrow, questions still remain
It's not that she's so sad, she always was a happy soul
But lately she gets to wonder to herself, what's the good of going on anymore?

I see her in her room, sitting at the window
Wondering if she's pretty, feeling just a little small tonight
She thinks of going home, giving up on the city
Maybe moving back down to Mobile, it's not that far to fall
I know she won't see me but I might just say anyhow
If I could be right there right now as I myself was told

Hold tight to your heart's desire, never ever let it go
Let nobody fool you into giving it up too soon
Tend your own fire, lay low and be strong, wait awhile, wait it out
Wait it on out, wait it out, it'll come along

I know she won't see me but I might just say anyhow
If I could be right there right now as I myself was told

Hold tight to your heart's desire, never ever let it go
Let nobody fool you into giving it up too soon
Tend your own fire, lay low and be strong
Wait it out, wait it out, wait it on out
Wait it out, let it come along, oh, wait awhile, wait awhile
