Duke Baxter - Everybody Knows Matilda Lyrics

Send "Everybody Knows Matilda" ringtone to your cell

I went down to 42nd street

Thought I'd get a bite to eat

I saw a girl that I'd like to meet

You know, she sure looked good

Told me that her heart was broken

Asked me what it was I's smoking

All she had was an old bus token

Yes, I would

She cried a tear

And said she was alone

And would I be so good

To accompany her home

Yeah, I could, yeah

(CHORUS)

But everybody knows Matilda

Everybody knows Matilda

Ain't no life for a young girl

All alone in a great big world

Matilda

Took me to shack on the edge of town

All the shades were pulled and drawn

Nobody, not a soul around

She smiled at me

Mixed drinks and I fixed my head

Drank it down, made me feel like lead

When I asked her, where was the bed

She said, I'd see

She pulled me close

Now what was I to do

My head was spinning

As she said take off your shoes

And I agree, yeah

(CHORUS)

Heard a heavy knock upon the door

Scared me so bad, I fell on the floor

Heard a voice that sounded sore

Said, let me in

Matilda said her boyfriend had a gun

Sorry, baby, but you have to run

But I was gone before she was done

I left my skin

Flew out the window

As the door came tumbling down

Didn't even say goodbye

I was homeward bound

Just can't win, no

Now everybody knows Matilda

Everybody knows Matilda

Ain't no life for a young girl

All alone in a great big world

Everybody knows Matilda

Everybody knows Matilda

Everybody knows Matilda

Everybody knows Matilda...
