Florence: What's going on around me Is barely making sense, I need some explanations fast! I see my present partner In the imperfect tense, And I don't see how we can last. I feel I need a change of cast Maybe I'm on nobody's side, And when he gives me reasons To justify each move, They're getting harder to believe. I know this can't continue, I've still a lot to prove, There must be more I could achieve. But I don't have the nerve to leave! Florence & Chorus: Everybody's playing the game, But nobody's rules are the same, Nobody's on nobody's side. Better learn to go it alone, Recognize you're out on your own, Nobody's on nobody's side. Florence: The one I should not think of Keeps rolling through my mind, And I don't want to let that go! No lover's ever faithful, No contract truly signed, There's nothing certain left to know. And how the cracks begin to show! Florence & Chorus: Never make a promise or plan, Take a little love where you can, Nobody's on nobody's side. Never stay too long in your bed, Never lose your heart, use your head! Nobody's on nobody's side. Florence: Side! Never take a stranger's advice, Never let a friend fool you twice, Chorus: Nobody's on nobody's side. Nobody's on nobody's side. Florence & Chorus: Never be the first to believe, Never be the last to deceive, Nobody's on nobody's side. Florence: Chorus: Never leave a moment too soon, Never leave a moment too soon, Never waste a hot afternoon, Never waste a hot afternoon, Nobody's on nobody's side, Never stay too long! Never stay a minute too long. Florence & Chorus: Don't forget the best will go wrong, Nobody's on nobody's side!
