Nobody loves me,
Nobody cares,

Nobody picks me peaches and pears.
 

Nobody offers me candy and Cokes,

Nobody listens and laughs at my jokes.
 

Nobody helps when I get in a fight,

Nobody does all my homework at night.
 

Nobody misses me,

Nobody cries,

Nobody thinks I'm a wonderful guy.

So if you ask me who's my best friend, in a whiz,

I'll stand up and tell you Nobody is.

But yesterday night I got quite a scare,

I woke up and Nobody just wasn't there.

I called out and reached out for Nobody's hand,

In the darkness where Nobody usually stands.

Then I poked through the house, in each cranny and nook,

But I found somebody each place that I looked.

I searched till I'm tired, and now with the dawn,

There's no doubt about it-

Nobody's gone.
