i'm just a nobody
cause nobody smiles at me
you must be somebody
cause your friend sells smiles for free
(for free!)
i wish you were lonely cause
baby i wouldn't be
you'd feel so sorry for that other nobody
and who needs friends when you can come and cry with me
it all depends when your cup is half full or half empty (x2)
i'm just a nobody
i like to write and read
you must be somebody
cause you never talk to me
(talk to me!)
i wish you were ugly cause
i would feel so free
to hold hands and sing with that other nobody
and who needs friend you can write bad poetry
talk of when love ends, the hurt sets in
oh the faithful art of the lonely (x2)
i'm just a nobody
i call my own phone
you must be somebody cause i've never seen you alone
(not alone!)
i wish you weren't so huggable
when i feel like a cactus tree
who wants to touch the thorns of a hopeless nobody
