[Intro]
I said nobody knows
Nobody knows

[Verse 1]
Which one of you can tell me what it is I'm looking at?
Anyone who can has got to be a crazy cat
Because I believe that nobody knows
(No nobody knows)
Yeah, nobody knows, no
(Lord, I cannot tell you)
Well, that's the way I like it
Yeah now, nobody knows

[Verse 2: Mostly Instrumental]
Nobody knows
Oh, nobody knows
Well Lord, you know that nobody knows

[Verse 3]
Samson and Delilah would have made a crazy pair
If that silly woman hadn't shaven off his hair
I believe that nobody knows
Yeah, nobody knows (nobody)
But that's the way I like it
Oh now, nobody knows
No, no, no, no, no

[Verse 4: Mostly Instrumental]
Nobody knows, nobody knows
That's the way I like it, nobody knows

[Verse 5]
I may go hungry, maybe next week
Well if I do, baby I'll still find something to eat
And you know, nobody knows
No, nobody knows
Well, that's the way I like it
Baby, nobody knows

[Verse 6]
And that includes you, honey
(Nobody knows)
I'll pay your rent
I'll do you right
(Nobody knows)
Most every night
But still there's nobody knows
No now, nobody knows
And that's the way I like to keep it
Just so nobody knows

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
