Nobody Knows - Ashford & Simpson

Like a mask you wanna take off

Cause you’re tired of living with it

Wishing someone else knew

Sorry no one’s never new

And nobody sees the midnight eyes

Nobody knows the sunny skies

Got a feeling only you know

What a shame they have to waste it

Once before life was bitter

Now you’re so afraid to taste it

Well, nobody knows about the little things

Nobody knows what they really mean

Nobody ever wants to take the time

To examine what’s on your mind

In the street, on a card you’re a stand out

How you feel they know nothing about

But you want and you want to be wanted

You’d rather play hard to get instead

Nobody knows the inside

That’s where all your little secrets hide

Nobody knows the inside

Maybe you, you got too much pride

And nobody knows the inside

I ain’t got no magic mirror

Nobody knows the inside

That’s why, that’s why I can’t get no nearer

You ought to tell somebody, tell somebody

Go on let it out

You try to, tell somebody, tell somebody

We want to hear what it’s all about

Try to, tell somebody, tell somebody

Go on and get it off, get it off your chest

Tell somebody, tell somebody before the Son of all this

Nobody knows the inside

That’s where all your little secrets hide

Nobody knows the inside

Maybe now, you got too much pride

Nobody knows the inside

I ain’t got no magic mirror

Nobody knows the inside

That’s why, that’s why I can’t get no nearer

Tell somebody, Tell somebody

Do it now, do it now, now right now

You ought to tell somebody, tell somebody

Scream and shout, your heart will feel good

Nobody knows the inside

That’s where all your little secrets hide

Nobody knows the inside

Guess why, guess why?

You got too much pride

Nobody knows the inside

I ain’t got no magic mirror

Nobody knows the inside

That’s why, we can’t get no nearer
