Everybody Loves you Now

The lyrics of the song depicts a woman who has become famous however she has adopted an idea that she is better than everyone else and considers herself to be too good for where she was raised. Joel describes her haughtiness and yet he also describes how he also desires her as much as everyone else appears to.Joel plays the role of a conscience to this woman warning her that eventually people will stop caring about her and she will end up alone and friendless.
