She's all alone she's lost another one Letting yesterday be now he's already gone
And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time Find it pays will come there goes the right line Then she'll do all the right things at the wrong guy And when he's gone next day she'll say I wonder why
She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one Cos she's afraid of the truth it's gonna hurt some All the pay in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realise that to keep on her ways have to change some
She tries too hard and she comes on too strong Thinks herself too much and thinks she can't be wrong
She's doing first the things that do not matter To be the queen of hearts is what she's after Then she'll do all the right things at the wrong guy And when he's gone next day she'll say I wonder why
She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one Cos she's afraid of the truth it's gonna hurt some All the pay in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realise that to keep on her ways have to change some
---- "Everybody's Next One" was written by John Kay and Gabriel Mekler, originally performed by the Canadian-American rock group Steppenwolf from their self-titled album in 1968. Allmusic.com wrote "Holder does an impressive John Kaye, and the inclusion of two tracks from the first Steppenwolf album indicate the real influence behind Slade. They were Britain's Steppenwolf. Everybody's Next One and Born to Be Wild sound great in the hands of these U.K. rockers."
