About Nobody

"Nobody" is the third single by Toni Basil, and the second from her debut album, Word of Mouth. It was released in the UK only. It was the follow-up to "Mickey." "Nobody" failed to reach the top 50, peaking at #52. A music video was made for the song. The visuals of the music video were inspired by the 1951 film A Streetcar Named Desire and the 1948 film The Red Shoes.

I had enough
of body stuff

of wearing clothes
and wiping my nose

I give a few, give in to temptation
I just wanna feel every sensation

I'm feeling clean, my experience's "The sheen"
It takes so much time
to wind and Unwind

From Time to time, I loose my mind (I don't want nobody)
I get so bored, when the guys are gone (I don't want No ONE)

Don't want nobody
Don't want nobody ay ay ay
Don't want nobody
Don't want nobody ay ay ay

Don't want no, 
Don't want no,
Don't want no,
Don't want nobody
Don't want no,
Don't want no,
Don't want no

Don't want nobody

There got to be a Fine Fine Line
between living and dying
I using my body up and I can't deny it
I got to find the fine fine line
I got to know the difference between walking and flying
I lift my hand, to shield my eyes
in my room there's a surprise

Don't want nobody
Don't want nobody ay ay ay
Don't want nobody
Don't want nobody ay ay ay

Don't want no, 
Don't want no,
Don't want no,
Don't want nobody
Don't want no,
Don't want no,
Don't want no

Where's that energy coming from?
Can I afford to rest from my fun?
Part of me is leaping, leaping about
Part of me is dying, dying to get out

Don't want nobody
Don't want nobody ay ay ay
Don't want nobody
Don't want nobody ay ay ay
Don't want nobody
Don't want nobody (don't want no)
Don't want nobody (don't want no)
Don't want nobody (don't want no)
Don't want nobody (don't want no)
Don't want nobody (don't want no)
Don't want nobody (don't want no)
Don't want nobody (don't want no)
Don't want nobody (don't want no)
Don't want nobody (don't want no) I
Don't want nobody (don't want no) Don't
Don't want nobody (don't want no) Want
Don't want nobody (don't want no) No
Don't want nobody (don't want no) I 
Don't want nobody (don't want no) Don't
Don't want nobody (don't want no) Want
Don't want nobody (don't want no) No
Don't want nobody (don't want no) I 
Don't want nobody (don't want no) Don't
Don't want nobody (don't want no) Want
Don't want nobody (don't want no) No
Don't want nobody (don't want no)
