Lea Michele & Chess 2025 Broadway Company Nobody's Side Lyrics

[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 thе nerve to leavе

[FLORENCE & ENSEMBLE]
Everybody's playin' 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 & ENSEMBLE, WOMEN]
Never make a promise or plan
Take a little love where you can (Where you can)
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay too long in your bed
Never lose your heart, use your head (Your head)
Nobody's on nobody's side

[FLORENCE]
Side!

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

[FLORENCE & ENSEMBLE, WOMEN]
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive (To deceive)
Nobody's on nobody's side

[FLORENCE & ENSEMBLE]
And 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 & ENSEMBLE]
Don't forget the best will go wrong
Nobody's on nobody's side!
