  • She don't need anybody to tell her she's pretty
    She's heard it every single day of her life
    He's got to wonder what she sees in him
    When there's so many others standing in line
    She gives herself to him, but he's still on the outside
    She's alone in this world
    She's nobody's girl
    She's nobody's girl

    She shows up at this doorstep in the middle of the night
    Then she disappears for weeks at a time
    It's just enough to keep him wanting more
    But never is he satisfied

    And he's left to pick up the pieces
    Wondering what does he do this for
    She's off in her own little world
    She's nobody's girl
    She's nobody's girl

    He said before I met her, I didn't love nothin'
    I could take it or leave it, that was okay
    She brings out a want in me
    For things I didn't even know that I need
    She does anything she wants, anytime she wants to
    With anyone, you know, she wants it all

    Still she gets all upset over the least little thing
    When you hurt her, it makes you feel so small
    And she's a walking contradiction
    But I ache for her inside
    She's fragile like a string of pearls
    She's nobody's girl
    She's fragile like a string of pearls
    She's nobody's girl
    She's nobody's girl
    She's nobody's girl Writer/s: Larry John McNally
