Nobody's Dream Girl

(Alison Young © 2003)
  • MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
  • MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)
I'm nobody's dream girl, you don't have to tell me
You're lookin' for pretty, obedient and sweet
Reliant, compliant, not defiant and free
so nobody's dreamin' of a girl like me

But I'll give you the show, get you drunk on desire
You'll look up my skirt while I'm walkin' the wire
You can't tell the difference in baring my soul
and sellin' some sparkle to the cheap seats below

Hey nobody's dream girl would dress like a tramp
stumble home late at night from a bar
Someone who sings in a rock and roll band
can't be trusted with anyone's heart

So I'm nobody's sweetheart, nobody's wife
Run along home to your safe little life
You'll get by without passion like most people do
and when you need it I'll be here performing for you
