Sittin' in a restaurant she walked by I seem to recall that certain look in your eye I said "who's that?" You said with a smile "Oh it's nobody, oh nobody" Maybe that explains the last two week You called me up, dead on your feet Working late again, I ask who with You said "nobody, oh nobody." Well your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name Well I wonder does she think she's being clever? (Clever) You say nobody's after you The fact is what you say is true But I can love you like nobody can, even better Late last night we went for a drive You were miles away I asked "who's on your mind?" You said, "Nobody, nobody. Why do you ask?" Oh, her again I could have told you that. We came back home got ready for bed I said to myself I've got one shot left Your still mine and I won't stand in line Behind nobody, nobody! Well your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name Well I wonder does she think she's being clever? (Clever) You say nobody's after you The fact is what you say is true But I can love you like nobody can, even better. Well your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name Well I wonder does she think she's being clever? (Clever) You say nobody's after you The fact is what you say is true But I can love you like nobody can, even better. Well your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name Well I wonder does she think she's being clever?
