Nobody Knows Me Lyrics

I like cream in my coffee
I like to sleep late on sundays
Nobody knows me like my baby

I like eggs over easy
Flour tortillas
Nobody knows me like my baby

Nobody holds me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby

But it was a dream made to order
South of the Border
Nobody knows me like my baby

And she cried, how could you do it
And i swore that there weren't nothing to it
Nobody knows me like my baby

Nobody holds me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby

And I like cream in my coffee
I hate to be alone on sunday
Nobody knows me like my baby

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

My interpretation: a man cheated on his lover when he was in Mexico, and because she knows him so well, she found out. Now he's alone and full of regret.

This is one of my favorite Lyle Lovett songs.
