lyrics

I'm a nobody
I've got nothing to lose
I'm a nobody
with the no name blues
They say nobody's perfect
I guess that makes me perfect, too
You must know me
I'm a nobody just like you

I'm a nobody
Never been on TV
I'm a nobody
Nobody notices me
But I'm perfectly happy
With my perfect anonymity
I'm perfectly happy
To be a nobody like me

People tell me
I could really be somebody
Well, now, who,
Who do they think they're talking to?
I've got an empty head
An empty heart
I'm an empty shell just falling apart
So can't people see?
I'm a nobody
Nobody but me

I'm a nobody
But I sing my own song
And if they laugh at me
I laugh right along
It's a dirty job
But somebody's gotta do it
And that somebody's
Bound to be a nobody like me
