Miss Nobody

I was walkin' 'round MacArthur Park It was late night and the streetlights sprayed the dark She was huddled down By a Kmart cart With a black eye and a shadow 'cross her heart She'd been waitin' around for a better god But most nights he didn't show up when he should She gripped a cup and lit one up In the summer heat "Hey mister, listen good" She said: "Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody But I'm doing fine I don't miss nobody I'm on my own all night And if you are somebody Someone with sympathy Just sit down here beside me Your soul could set me free Your soul could set me free" Broken friends inside her head People rarely plan their demolition Bleached out in the sun again Then bleeding nights When funds are insufficient She keep holdin' on Until the dawn But never lose the fortitude and grace And when she smile, she come alive And golden days illuminate her face She said: "Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody But I'm doing fine I don't miss nobody I'm on my own all night And if you are somebody Someone with sympathy Just sit down here beside me Your soul could set me free Your soul could set me free" Sometimes life can be so beautiful Sometimes life can be so magical Sometimes life can take the wrong turn And you turn up here She said: "Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody But I'm doing fine I don't miss nobody I'm on my own all night And if you are somebody Someone with sympathy Just sit down here beside me Your soul could set me free Your soul could set me free"
