"Everybody Knows"
“
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
without your clothes
And everybody knows
— Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows that you've been faithful

without your clothes
And everybody knows" in the context of ""Everybody Knows"" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
