Sylvia - Nobody

"Nobody" is a song written by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan, and recorded by American country music artist Sylvia. It was released in June 1982 as the second single from the album Just Sylvia.

The song was first recorded in 1982 by Sylvia, who was already a country music star, achieving a #1 hit and 2 other top tens in 1981. "Nobody" was her second and final Billboard #1 country hit.[1] The song was so successful, it crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100 charts, debuting on August 21, 1982 (the week the song dropped from #1 Country) and peaking at #15 in November.[2] "Nobody" spent 20 weeks on the chart; earned a gold record; and was also a top five Adult Contemporary hit.

The song turned young Sylvia into a star on both sides of the charts. Although she gained country-pop success with "Nobody", she never achieved another crossover hit, or for that matter, another Billboard Country Singles #1 hit. The song became Sylvia's signature song and got nominated for a Grammy Award in 1983 for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. It also helped her take home the Academy of Country Music (ACM) award for Top Female Vocalist of 1982, a category for which she was never even nominated by the Country Music Association (CMA). The title also received the BMI Song of the Year (1983) award for receiving the most radio airplay.

Sylvia – Nobody Lyrics

Sittin' in a restaraunt and she walked by

I seem to recall that certain look in your eye

I said who's that you said with a smile

Oh it's nobody, aww nobody

Maybe that explains the last two weeks

You call me up dead on your feet

Working late again I ask who with

You said nobody, aww nobody

Well your nobody called today

She hung up when I asked her name

Well I wonder does she think she's being clever (clever)

You say nobody's after you

The fact is what you say is true

But I can love you like nobody can, even better

Late last night we went for a drive

You were miles away

I ask who's on your mind

You said nobody (nobody) why do you ask

Oh her again, I couldve told you that

We came back home got ready for bed

I said to myself I've got one shot left

Your still mine

And I won't stand in line behind nobody, aww nobody

Well your nobody called today

She hung up when I asked her name

Well I wonder does she think shes being clever (clever)

You say nobody's after you

The fact is what you say is true

But I can love you like nobody can, even better
