Sly & The Family Stone - I Ain't Got Nobody (For Real) Lyrics






I ain't got nobody
Lookin' out for me
I ain't got nobody
I am afraid

Look around from time to time
If you see me lookin' don't pay me no mind
Let me tell you what I'm tryin to find
A girl who's for real all the time
She don't have to wear a wig
She don't have to be too big
In any given community as long as she loves me

I ain't got nobody
I ain't got nobody
I ain't got nobody
I ain't got nobody

For real
For real
For real

I ain't got nobody
Lookin' out for me
I ain't got nobody
Anybody can see

All I want is a downhome girl
I'll find her if she's in this world
For real is all she has to be
Reality is all she has to see
Love is all she has to give
Life is all she has to live
If I could have all of this
I'd let her have my every kiss

I ain't got nobody
I ain't got nobody
I ain't got nobody
I ain't got nobody

For real

I ain't got nobody
Lookin' out for me
I ain't got, ain't got nobody
I am afraid

Look around from time to time
If you see me lookin' don't pay me no mind
Let me tell you what I'm tryin to find
A girl who's for real all the time
She don't have to wear a wig
She don't have to be too big
In any given community as long as she loves me

I ain't got nobody
I ain't got nobody
I ain't got nobody
I ain't got nobody

    @cheifguggletram so funny you said that..being that they both came from the same circuit (SF-Bay Area), I always wondered if that was a musical nod from Santana to Sly. when I first heard this as a kid, that always wondered what the story was behind the "Evil Ways" tune w/ "Aint Got Nobody"..this is my jam!!! I have this on wax..Sly in San Francisco on Springboard records....I believe this was a 7inch on a local label pre Epic days..

  11. c.... ....

    Reminds me on No One To Depend On by Santana with the "I ain't got nobody", or should I say Santana's song reminds me of this, as this came first.
