Nobody knows the troubles I bear
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it
(…body knows it, none at all)
Nobody knows the heartaches I share
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it
Nobody knows it (… knows it, none at all)

Sometimes I´m up, sometimes I´m down
(oh, my Lord)
Sometimes I feel like running away
(oh, my Lord), oh, my Lord

Nobody knows, I say, the heartaches that I share
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it
(…body knows it, none at all), nobody knows it
I said, nobody knows the troubles I bear
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it
(…body knows it, none at all)

Some say that I´m lazy, some say that I´m crazy
(oh, my Lord)
And at the times when I´m sad, some say I´m mad
(oh, my …), oh, my Lord

I said, nobody, nobody knows
Nobody knows the troubles, the troubles that I bear
Nobody knows it
Nobody else knows it, nobody knows it, nobody knows it
None at all, I say how much I
Nobody knows the heartaches I share, nobody knows it
(Nobody knows it, none at all)
Some say that I´m lazy, some say that I´m crazy
(oh, my Lord)
And at times when I´m sad, some say I´m mad
(oh, my …) oh, my Lord, only you know, only you know
