It Happens Everyday

Words and Music by Carly Simon
Live version from her "Greatest Hits-Live" LP


It happens everyday
Two lovers with the best intentions to stay
Together, they decide to separate
Just how it happens neither is certain
But it happens everyday

It happens everyday
After you break up you say these words to your friends
"How could I have loved that boy?"
"He was so bad to me in the end"
Well, you make him a liar
Turn him into a robber
Well, it happens everyday

But I don't regret that I loved you
How I loved you I will never forget
And in time I'll look back and remember
The boy that I knew when we first met

Still, it happens everyday
Two lovers turn and twist their love into hate
But am I so different from that young girl you used to date?
You used to adore me
SPOKEN: <You used to adore me>
Still, it happens every……day

Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Everyday, yeah, yeah, yeah
