[Verse 1]

I wanted you now

Need you to stay

To keep you alive

You said you would go

That you couldn't stay

But I would survive

I'll stay by your side

'Til your eyes fade away, yeah

Until your soul goes up north, and I'm here

You see

[Chorus]

Everybody wants a piece of me, darling

Everybody wants a piece of me lately

Everybody wants a piece of me, baby

But since you've gone on, it's been tragic

Everybody wants a piece of me, darling

I don't really see nobody else but you

Everybody wants a piece of me, baby

Everybody but you

[Verse 2]

Doctor might as well cut me open

Don't do it while I'm awake so I won't rebuttal

Knock me out now, I won't wake up until you say to

And I really wanna visit my sister in Queens

And see my niece and nephew

But it's been so hard

Cause I've been spread thin

They need me right here, you see?

[Chorus]

Everybody wants a piece of me, darling

Everybody wants a piece of me lately

Everybody wants a piece of me, lady

But since you've gone on, it's been tragic

Everybody wants a piece of me, darling

I don't really see nobody else but you

Everybody wants a piece of me, baby

Everybody but you

Everybody but you

Yeah yeah

[Chorus]

Everybody wants a piece of me, darling

Everybody wants a piece of me lately

Everybody wants a piece of me, baby

But since you've gone on, it's been tragic

Everybody wants a piece of me, darling

I don't really want nobody else but you

Everybody wants a piece of me, baby

Everybody but you
