Nobody's Child

(Cy Coben and Mel Foree)

 

As I was slowly passing

An orphan's home one day,

I stopped for just a little while

To watch the children play.

Alone a boy was standing,

And when i asked him why,

He turned with eyes that could not see

And he began to cry.

I'm nobody's child,

I'm nobody's child,

Just like the flowers

I am growing wild.

I've got no mammy's kisses,

I've got no, no daddy's smile.

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.

No mammy's arms to hold me

Or soothe me when I cry,

'cause sometimes i feel so lonesome,

I wish that I could die.

I´d walk the streets of heaven

Where all the blind can see,

And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me.

I'm nobody's child,

I'm nobody's child,

just like the flowers

I'm, I'm growing wild.

I've got no mammy's kisses,

I've got no, no daddy's smile.

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.
