Refrains:
I'm nobody’s darling,
Because I’m nobody’s fool,
But I’ll never be someone
If I just play it cool.
To be somebody’s darling,
Oh, what do I do?
To be something to someone
When the night is through?
B Section:
Telling yourself what you want to believe
Don’t make it true.
And I can’t win you over,
No matter what I do, when I’m with you.
I ain’t nobody’s darling, I’m nobody’s to lose.
Refrain:
I ain’t nobody’s darling
When I say what’s on my mind
And when the day is over
You’ll never look to find me.
Bridge:
You can throw all your tomatoes,
Flaunt your small potatoes,
Well I’m nobody’s darling,
But I’m nobody’s fool.
But you’d be a fool to count me out,
I’ll rise without a doubt
Above you spin, your mask,
And your lies.
And the dirt you fling in my eyes
When I’m down.
We’ll I’ll rise up off the ground,
You’ll see!
Refrains:
So I’m nobody’s darling
When I stare at the moon,
When I’m feeling so lonely,
And I’m thinking of you.
To be somebody’s darling,
Oh, what do I do?
To be something to someone
When the night is through?
