John Legend: Everybody Knows (Video)

The video for John Legend's "Everybody Knows" is a pretty literal interpretation of the song--which is about your ex moving on and finding someone else--with Legend's ex having a kid with some new guy. The director of the video even literally interprets Legend's "it's written all over my face" line by tattooing the song's lyrics on Legend's face. It's okay, I guess, but music videos don't need to directly represent the lyrics like they do here.

"Everybody Knows" is on Legend's recently released Evolver, out via Columbia. [KanyeUniversity]
