(Early demo version, 1971)
Nobody, nobody
Will ever love you the way I loved you
Cause nobody is that strong
Love's bitter sweet
Life's treasure's deep
But no one can keep a love that's gone wrong
Nobody, nobody
Gonna love you the way I could
Cause nobody's that strong
No, nobody's that strong
Nobody, nobody
Gonna love you the way I loved you
Cause nobody, nobody is that strong, yeah
You've had many lovers
You'll have many others
But they'll only just break your poor heart in two
And nobody, nobody
Will love you the way that I could
Cause nobody, nobody's that strong
No, nobody's that strong

And no one can keep a love that's gone wrong
Nobody, nobody
Will love you the way that I could

Nobody, nobody
Will ever love you the way I can love you
Cause nobody, nobody's that strong
You've had many lovers
You'll have many others
But they'll only just break your poor heart in two
Nobody, nobody
