Lyrics of Nobody by Mitski
Verse 1
My God, I’m so lonely, so I open the window
To hear sounds of people, to hear sounds of people
Venus, planet of love, was destroyed by global warming
Did its people want too much too? Did its people want too much?
Pre-Chorus
And I don’t want your pity, I just want somebody near me
Guess I’m a coward, I just want to feel alright
And I know no one will save me, I just need someone to kiss
Give me one good honest kiss and I’ll be alright
Chorus
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Ooh, nobody, nobody, nobody
Verse 2
I’ve been big and small and big and small and big and small again
And still nobody wants me, still nobody wants me
Pre-Chorus
And I know no one will save me, I’m just asking for a kiss
Give me one good movie kiss and I’ll be alright
Bridge
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Ooh, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Chorus
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Outro
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, no
