Nobody

Don't mind me
I'm just nobody
till somebody loves me
till somebody sees me
the real me
To hold, to meld into
the real me

Nobody
I'm not anybody
you'd call noticeable
but if perchance you notice me
in the croud
lost at sea
throw me a life preserver
save me from the absurdity
of my life

Nobody knows me
Nobody knows the real me
so here I remain
just your average nobody
Hey, I wish you all the best

Don't mind me
I'm nobody
you'd want to know
but say you'd want to know me
even it probably isn't true

So tell me what to do
tell me where to go
'Cause I'm nobody
living nowhere
in particular
living on the ashes of her
living in memories,
dreaming I'll be somebody
with somebody standing by me
Till then I'm nobody
Hey, I wish you all the best
and more
just don't walk out
the door
I don't want to be nobody forever
I don't want be without somebody forever

Hello somebody - for we are all somebodies- and of great value too - and i understand this deeply - but know too, love is all around you - you need only extend your hand-

Hugs - Susan
