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!
