I was walkin' 'round MacArthur Park

It was late night and the streetlights sprayed the dark

(Sprayed the dark, sprayed the dark)

She was huddled down by a Kmart cart

With a black eye and a shadow 'cross her heart

('Cross her heart)

She'd been waitin' around for a better god

But most nights, he didn't show up when he should

When he should

She gripped a cup and lit one up

In the summer heat, "Hey mister, listen good" (So good, so good)

"Hey mister, listen good" (So good, so good)

She said

"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody

But I'm doing fine

I don't miss nobody

I'm on my own all night

And if you are somebody

Someone with sympathy

Just sit down here beside me

Your soul could set me free

Your soul could set me free"

(Set me free, set me free)

Broken friends inside her head

People rarely plan their demolition

Bleached out in the sun again

Then bleeding nights when funds are insufficient

(Funds are insufficient)

She keep holdin' on until the dawn

But never lose the fortitude and grace

And when she smile, she come alive

And golden days illuminate her face, ah yeah

She said

"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody

But I'm doing fine

I don't miss nobody

I'm on my own all night

And if you are somebody

Someone with sympathy

Just sit down here beside me

Your soul could set me free

Your soul could set me free"

Sometimes, life can be so beautiful

Sometimes, life can be so magical

Sometimes, life can take the wrong turn

And you turn up here

She said

"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody

But I'm doing fine

I don't miss nobody

I'm on my own all night

And if you are somebody

Someone with sympathy

Just sit down here beside me

Your soul could set me free

Your soul could set me free"

Your soul could set me free

Your soul could set me free
