Nobody

Album: Hard Bargain (2011)

  • Ridin' on her bicycle to school
    A little girl out breakin' all the rules
    She don't care about the birds and the bees
    She's too busy skinnin' both her knees
    With the arms of a loving childhood
    Wrapped around her
    All the wonders of the world surround her
    And with the angels up above her soul to keep
    In her bed down here below she falls asleep

    She don't need nobody
    She don't need nobody
    She don't need nobody now

    All grown up and livin' on her own
    She goes to work and then comes home alone
    But she believes someday her prince will come
    There's a lot of life to go at twenty one
    With nothing but her faith in love to guide her
    She'll follow the young heart that beats inside her
    Walk right through that door and bet it all
    Confidant she can take the fall

    She's ready for somebody
    She's ready for somebody
    She's ready for somebody now

    As the years go by
    The woman's not so sure
    She feels an ache inside
    That seems to have no cure
    How did life get so long
    Does no one ever stay
    Was the dream of one true love
    Just lost along the way
    But she believes she has so much to give
    Is there any other reason why we live

    She stills want somebody
    She stills want somebody
    She stills want somebody now

    Now that little girl is growing old
    All of her sad stories have been told
    But there are no regrets, she'll place no blame
    She knows for everyone it is the same
    Even when the well runs dry and the bread's unleavened
    And she wonders if there really is a heaven
    She finds her way back to that little girl
    And wraps her empty arms around the world

    She don't need nobody
    She don't need nobody
    She don't need nobody now Writer/s: KEITH STEGALL, STEWART HARRIS
