"Nobody's Side" lyrics

Lea Michele & 2025 Broadway Cast of Chess Lyrics

"Nobody's Side"

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

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

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

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

Side...

Never take a stranger's advice
Never let a friend fool you twice

Nobody's on nobody's side
Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody's on nobody's side

And never leave a moment too soon (And 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)

Don't forget the best will go wrong
Nobody's on nobody's side
