	When I first wrote this pop ditty, I was almost ashamed of its simplicity of message. Lo and behold, when I listened to it over the following weeks, it became one of my favorites.

	Story Behind the Song I was thinking about girls who have either been hurt or have seen fit to decide they're above the humble cause of love, and I felt it was sad to for anyone to give up on the opportunities. It took just a few minutes to write the first verse and chorus, and a few more to record a short demo. The vocal on the final version was recorded in one take, and you can tell. However, there were some moments of personality that would lose something if I tried to perfect that performance, so I left it raw. Lyrics BE YOUR EVERYBODY 2000 Chris Williams You said don't try to impress me You'll never get to undress me. Nobody can stand in your way Nobody is welcome to stay. You said don't stand so close, child You just don't dig that lifestyle No one gets to take you away No one gets to hang out and play. Well, I could try to be your everybody Calm you down and talk for awhile. If you frown at me, your everybody, everybody'd wait for a smile. I just believe that deep down your hopes are fast asleep now. If I rattled cowbells and plates, could I get your spirit to wake? You are a smart and strong girl But you've been mad too long, girl. Turning up your nose at the game You could win so big it's a shame. Well, I could try to be your everybody No one miss your birthday next year. If I was indeed your everybody, everyone that loves you would be here. Would have tried to be your everybody everybody just needs a sign. Would you start with me, your everybody? Everybody's listening this time. if you said You said don't stand so close, child You just don't dig that lifestyle No one gets to take you away No one gets to hang out and play. Well, I could try to be your everybody Sit you down and talk for awhile. If you frown at me, your everybody, everybody'd wait for a smile.
