Nina Simone - I Can’t See Nobody lyrics

I walk the lonely streets
I watch the people passing by
I used to smile and say, "Hello"
Guess I was just a happy girl
Then you happened
This feeling that possesses me
I just can't move myself
I guess it all just had to be

No, I can't see nobody
No, I can't see nobody
My eyes can only look at you, you

I used to have a brain
I used to think of many things
I used to watch the falling rain
And listen to the sweet birds sing

No, I can't see nobody
No, I can't see nobody
My eyes can only look at you, you

Every single word you hear now
Is coming right from my heart
This heart of mine
I've never felt like this before
A love like yours so young and fine
Now as I try to forget you
It doesn't work out anyway
'Cause I lost you such a long time ago
But in my eyes you'll always be

No, I can't see nobody
No, I can't see nobody
My eyes can only look at you, you
No, I can't see nobody
No, I can't see nobody
My eyes can only look at you
(No, I can't see nobody)
