Nobody

[Verse 1] Ridin' on her bicycle to school A little girl out breakin' all the rules She don't care about the birds and bees She's too busy skinnin' both her knees [Verse 2] With the arms of a loving childhood wrapped around her All the wonders of the world surround her And with the angels up above her soul to keep In her bed down here below, she falls asleep [Chorus] She don't need nobody She don't need nobody She don't need nobody now [Verse 3] All grown up and livin' on her own She goes to work and then comes home alone But she believes someday her prince will come There's a lot of life to go at 21 [Verse 4] With nothing but her faith in love to guide her She follows the young heart that beats inside her Walk right through that door and bet it all Confident she can take the fall [Chorus] She is ready for somebody She is ready for somebody She is ready for somebody now [Bridge] As the years go by, the woman's not so sure She feels an ache inside that seems to have no cure How did life get so long? Does no one ever stay? Was the dream of one true love just lost along the way? But she believes she has so much to give Is there any other reason why we live? [Chorus] She still wants somebody She still wants somebody She still wants somebody now [Verse 5] Now that little girl is growing old All of her sad stories have been told But there are no regrets, she'll place no blame She knows for everyone, it is the same [Verse 6] Even when the well runs dry and the bread's unleavened And she wonders if there really is a heaven She finds her way back to that little girl And wraps her empty arms around the world [Chorus] She don't need nobody She don't need nobody She don't need nobody now
