Nobody

(album: Eliza Doolittle - 2010)

I could be A, I could be C
Multiple choice I don't want to be
All the above don't fit in with me
Not with me

'Cause nobody cares and nobody loves
That somebody does what nobody does
And everyone follows them just because
Of the bus

I'm gonna be what I want
Instead of being what I'm not
Maybe it's not enough
Then I want none of it

What's wrong with being a nobody?
That nobody knows and has nobodies
And I should know 'cause I am one of these
Happy to blend and I really am honestly

The whole world's trying to be somebody
Kicking themselves 'bout what could've been
What's wrong with being a nobody?
I'm not pretending I am what I'll never be

I walk in a lake, walk up the wall
I'm no Messiah, I'm nothing at all
Compared to the greatest people I see
I'm just me

Am I making a change, I don't have a clue
Maybe I can't 'cause I love what I do
Isn't a sign just fitting somewhere else?
To a tune

I'm gonna be what I want
Instead of being what I'm not
Maybe it's not enough
Then I want none of it

What's wrong with being a nobody?
That nobody knows and has nobodies
And I should know 'cause I am one of these
Happy to blend and I really am honestly

The whole world is trying to be somebody
Kicking themselves 'bout what could've been
What's wrong with being a nobody?
I'm not pretending I am what I'll never be

I'm gonna be what I want
I'm just playing a part
And what my character does
Is not important, it just is
What it is, is what it is

Tu-tu, tu-tu-tu
Tu-tu-tu
Tu-tu-tu
Tu-tu-tu

What's wrong with being a nobody?
That nobody knows and has nobodies
And I should know 'cause I am one of these
Happy to blend and I really am honestly

The whole world is trying to be somebody
(What kind of nobody are you?)
Kicking themselves 'bout what could've been
(What kind of nobody are you?)

What's wrong with being a nobody?
(What kind of nobody are you?)
I'm not pretending I am what I'll never be

What's wrong with being a nobody?
(What kind of nobody are you?)
That nobody knows and has nobodies
(What kind of nobody are you?)

And I should know 'cause I am one of these
(What kind of nobody are you?)
Happy to blend and I really am
