Nobody's Side - Chess In Concert

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 lovers 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

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

Never waste a hot afternoon

Nobody’s on nobody’s side

Never stay a minute too long

Don’t forget the best will go wrong

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
