Everybody Loves You

Everybody loves you
At least that’s what you think 
See, there are some people who love you
The people who love you always got your back
There are other kinds of people, too
The ones who use you like you’re a paper plate, 
They eat on you and when they done, they throw you away
You have to pick the right people to be in your life 
‘Cause if you don’t, you’re gonna get hurt and that’s not alright
