Everybody's trying to say I'm wrong
I just wanna be back where I belong

World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down

Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right?
I need somebody to help me through the night

World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down...yeah

Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right?
I need somebody to help me through the night

World turning
I've gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down

World turning
Everybody's got me down
World turning
Everybody's got me down

OK, this one is a little hard to analyze. Who wrote what? But the gist of the song isn't too complicated - this person wants to be left alone. He/she is tired of dealing with everybody being negative and "down." Even if this person is wrong, he/she doesn't want everyone acting as the judge and jury - after all, "who's to say what's right?" Instead of all this negativity, how about "somebody to help me through the night"? In other words, as Billy Joel says, "Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone!"
