Took me a ride 'round the city Thought I'd look around, see if I'd find another you Had to be a place wherein they do do what you do Where I could see what I needed to see yeah Found me a shrine in the city Walked to ma** swallowed some smoke and rang a bell Asked if there's a place wherein they do do what you do But he said Boy don't you know when you got what you had gotta grab it and never let go Took another ride 'round the city Took about an hour, crooked old taxi picked me up Take me to a place wherein they do do what you do But he said Boy don't you know when you got what you had gotta grab it and never let go And he said... Chorus Ooh, nowhere ain't never gonna find (ooh, nowhere) I hear the same thing all the time (ooh, nowhere)
Boy you ain't even got a prayer You won't find that no way nowhere Nowhere Boy, don't you know that you get what you get in the city? Nobody ever delivers the way that you want (a happy ending) Never, no never give up what you've got 'cause you think there's something better Chances are there ain't nowhere...nowhere No more rides 'round the city No more nights trying to find another you Going to a place wherein they don't do what you did Where I could see what I need to be see Going far away from the city Going to a place where I can view a better view Going to a place where I can get away from you But I know soon as I get where I'm going you'll get there and get it and grab it and go And I know... (Repeat chorus twice) Nowhere...
