Nobody Knows

Average song rating This sounds like McCartney I as well. Terrible drums once again, Paul skips a beat here and there like he did in I'm Looking Through You. Lead and rhythm guitar sounds as if it was played by a twelve year old George Harrison. The usual Paul McCartney singalong. Simple 12 bar chord schedule. Any starting band can play this kind of song and probably better. Bobber June 11, 2012
Average song rating A fun, whimsical sort of song. This is the only song on McCartney II which I can even remotely imagine fitting in with the songs from McCartney (the 1970 album). Bruce Beatlefan June 14, 2006

Lyrics

Ooh ooh,
They say nobody knows, nobody knows.

Which one of you can tell me
What is I'm looking at?
Anyone who can has got to be a crazy cat.
'Cause I believe that nobody knows, no, nobody knows.
Yeah, nobody knows,
Lord, I cannot tell you,
Well, that's the way I like it, yeah now, nobody knows.

Ooh-uh,
Ooh-uh,
Nobody knows, ooh-uh-ih,
Oh, nobody knows, uh-uh,
Well, lord, you know that nobody knows.

Samson and delilah would have made a crazy pair,
If that silly woman hadn't shaven off his hair.
I believe that nobody knows,
Well, nobody knows, no, no,
But that's the way I like it,
Oh now, nobody knows, nobody knows, oh no.

Nobody knows.

Ooh-uh, nobody,
Ah, nobody, nobody knows,
But that's the way I like it,
That's the way I like it, nobody knows, so nobody knows.

I may go hungry, maybe next week,
Well, if I do, babe, I'll still find something to eat.
And you know, nobody knows,
No, nobody knows,
Well, that's the way I like it, baby, nobody knows.

And that includes you, honey,
Nobody knows,
I'll pay your rent,
I'll do you right,
Nobody knows, most every night,
But still there's nobody knows, uh,
No, no, nobody knows,
And that's the way I like to keep it
Just so nobody knows.
