I Love Everybody is the fifth album by Lyle Lovett, released in 1994. The album consists of Lovett's early songs penned prior to the recording of his first album, Lyle Lovett (1986).^[1]^[4]

On the 8th track, "Record Lady," Lyle refers to college friend and fellow musician, Robert Earl Keen.

...Robert Earl, he's a friend of mine
You know he's always looking out for my best interest...

Several songs prominently feature one or more of Lovett's trademark penchants: wry humor ("Sonja"), playful surrealism ("Penguins"), cod misanthropy ("They don't like me"), and disturbing frankness ("Creeps Like Me"). Even the album's title, ("I Love Everybody"), is ironic.

Lovett's wife at the time, Julia Roberts, provides backing vocals on several tracks. Other performers lending their voices include Rickie Lee Jones and Leo Kottke.

"Ain't It Something" would later be rerecorded, in a longer form, for Lovett's soundtrack to the 2000 film Dr. T & the Women.
