[Verse 1]
I was walkin' 'round MacArthur Park
It was late night and the streetlights sprayed the dark
(Sprayed the dark, sprayed the dark)
She was huddled down by a Kmart cart
With a black eye and a shadow 'cross her heart
('Cross her heart)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She'd been waitin' around for a better god
But most nights, he didn't show up when he should
When he should
She gripped a cup and lit one up
In the summer heat, "Hey mister, listen good" (So good, so good)
"Hey mister, listen good" (So good, so good)
She said

[Chorus]
"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
But I'm doing fine
I don't miss nobody
I'm on my own all night
And if you are somebody
Someone with sympathy
Just sit down here beside me
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free"
(Set me free, set me free)
[Verse 2]
Broken friends inside her head
People rarely plan their demolition
Bleached out in the sun again
Then bleeding nights when funds are insufficient
(Funds are insufficient)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
She keep holdin' on until the dawn
But never lose the fortitude and grace
And when she smile, she come alive
And golden days illuminate her face, ah yeah
She said

[Chorus]
"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
But I'm doing fine
I don't miss nobody
I'm on my own all night
And if you are somebody
Someone with sympathy
Just sit down here beside me
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free"

[Bridge]
Sometimes, life can be so beautiful
Sometimes, life can be so magical
Sometimes, life can take the wrong turn
And you turn up here
She said
[Chorus]
"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
But I'm doing fine
I don't miss nobody
I'm on my own all night
And if you are somebody
Someone with sympathy
Just sit down here beside me
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free"

[Post-Chorus]
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free
