Alone in a barroom a young girl is sitting
  And smiling at nothing at all
  And she stares now and then at the eyes of the men
  In the mirror that hangs on the wall
  
  She's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one
  Who cares if she comes or she goes
  Just a soul in the shadows the world never sees
  She's somebody nobody knows
  
  Chorus:
  Someone no one's ever known
  Crying where no one can hear
  Somebody's dying alone
  In a city where nobody cares
  
  Down in the gutter an old man has fallen
  Like somebody the world threw away
  And the late crowd was leaving, and nobody even
  Took the time to look down where he lay
  
  The old man was crying and helplessly trying
  To wipe off the stain from his clothes
  Just a soul in the shadows that life left behind
  He's somebody nobody knows
  
  Chorus:
  Someone no one's ever known
  Crying where no one can hear
  Somebody's dying alone
  In a city where nobody cares
