Chess - Nobody's Side Lyrics

(feat. Idina Menzel)

Florence:
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!

Florence & Chorus:
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.

Florence:
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!

Florence & Chorus:
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.

Florence:
Side!
Never take a stranger's advice,
Never let a friend fool you twice, Chorus:
Nobody's on nobody's side. Nobody's on nobody's side.

Florence & Chorus:
Never be the first to believe,
Never be the last to deceive,
Nobody's on nobody's side.

Florence: Chorus:
Never leave a moment too soon, 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.

Florence & Chorus:
Don't forget the best will go wrong,
Nobody's on nobody's side!
