Nobody

(album: Jazz - 1978)

Nobody knows the trouble I see
Nobody knows but me

When life seems full of clouds and rain
I am filled with naught but pain
Who soothes my thumping bumpin brain?
Nobody

And when winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's a quarter
Boy now you go and eat"?
Nobody

I ain't never done nothing to nobody
And I ain't never got nothing from a nobody no time
And until I get something from somebody sometime
Well, I don't intend to do nothing for nobody no time

Then summer comes all cool and clear
And my good friends they see me drawing near
Who says, "Come on in here, man, have a beer"?
Nobody

Last Christmas eve it was about daybreak
I was in that railroad wreck
And who was it hauled the engine off my neck
Not a living soul

I ain't ever done nothing to nobody
And I ain't never got nothing from nobody no time
Until I get me something from somebody sometime
Well I been thinking it out
And beyond a doubt I ain't gonna do nothing for nobody no time
I don't intend to do nothing for nobody
Nobody no time, no time
Nobody no time
Well I don't intend
To do nothing for nobody no time
