Nobody Knows

Helen Merrill · Other Songs - Helen Merrill

I may get around, I may laugh a lot

Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got

Nobody knows, nobody sees

Ain't nobody really knows the inner side o'me



I may seem secure, I could have it made

You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade

Nobody knows what dreams I see

Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be



But everybody has a place and time

A chance to live, a need to find

We all got somethin' that we care about

I propose you find it out



It's not in a book, or a magazine

Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen

Nobody knows, it's up to me

Ain't nobody who can say it like it ought to be



I see my future at the rainbow's end

Happy hours, timeless friends

And if I ever chance to find my way

Rest assured, I will stay



You may see your life as a compromise

You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes

Nobody knows, it's meant to be

Let the magic of the moment say it all to me
