I am horrified by Elaine Paige's hair, and overwhelmed by the utter 80s-ness of this (really bad) music video, but this is the original version of the song that I got attached to in 1990.



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 the nerve to leave.

Everybody's playing 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.

The one I should not think of
Keeps rolling through my mind
And I don't want to let that go.
No lovers ever faithful,
No contract truly signed,
There's nothing certain left to know,
And how the cracks begin to show!

Never make a promise or plan
Take a little love where you can
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay too long in your bed
Never lose your heart, use your head
Nobody's on nobody's side.

Never take a stranger's advice
Never let a friend fool you twice
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody's on nobody's side
And never leave a moment too soon
Never waste a hot afternoon
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay a minute too long
Don't forget the best will go wrong
Nobody's on nobody's side.

Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never make a promise or plan
Take a little love where you can
Nobody's on nobody's side


And no, dear, don't take it personally -- it isn't a complaint about my life now, even if I do still try to live by some of these rules...
