Nobody
Nobody
Nobody calls me nobody
I'm somebody
They ought to be
Hobnobbing with
Yet they put me down
I see the way people smirk
Maybe their jibes wouldn't work
If I could move in high circles
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody calls me nobody
If only they'd take the time they'd see
That those who call me a nobody
Don't know me
I'm a woman of substance
A woman with standards
A woman of many extremes
A woman with hopes
A woman who copes
Despite so many unfulfilled dreams
I'm well-bred enough
Well-read enough
With witty reparté
I'm good enough
Have stood enough
Of people talking down to me
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody calls me nobody
I'm somebody
Who's born to be
The centre of everything in town
I'll be the Crème de la Crème
I'll show I'm better than them
Though they're so quick to condemn me
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody calls me nobody
I'm sure given time they'll all agree
That those who call me a nobody
Don't know
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody calls me nobody
I'm somebody
They're gonna see
Rise up to be someone of reknown
I'll make them eat every word
I'm not just one of the herd
Time that the whole town was stirred up
Nobody
Calls me nobody
I'll climb to the top of any tree
And those who call me a nobody
Don't know me
