Nobody Knows

I always thought I’d be a potted plant
I’d grow the beauty even with my dirty hands
Always thought I’d be a well-kept man
And you would take me out to dancing again

I always thought I’d be a wilderness
I could be a savior in a white linen dress
I could learn to clean up every time I made a mess
And you would take me out to dancing again

If nobody knows the trouble you’re in
If nobody knows the trouble you’ve seen
If nobody knows the trouble you’re in
Stop hiding

When you were poor, I smoked your cigarettes
You went unfed, I ate your last baguette
When you were rich, I would sleep at the foot of your bed
Til you would take me out to dancing again

If nobody knows the trouble you’re in
If nobody knows the trouble you’ve seen
If nobody knows the trouble you’re in
You can tell me

We cannot save each other
And I don’t wanna say that I need your love dear
But when we’re lost and tired from the cold and the road and the fight
I hope you’ll take me out to dancing again
