Summary

During the "American Life" era, Madonna has seemed more remix-happy than ever before in her career. The "American Life" project may have had its disappointments, but there has been a steady stream of remixes for so many tracks and from so many different DJs that Madonna even released "Remixed & Revisited," her first remix collection since "You Can Dance." "Nobody Knows Me" received particular remix attention and seemed like the most "club-ready" track on the album, although many fans agreed that its hard electronic touches didn't make it a great fit for pop radio. (Although remixes were available on the "Nothing Fails" single, "Nobody Knows Me" was never promoted as a single outside of US clubs.)

The song followed in the footsteps of "Impressive Instant" as a club play-only single, although it couldn't match the #1 peak of II. It was her first single to miss the top spot on the Club Play chart since the GHV2 Megamix. Nevertheless, the song kept Madonna's high profile in the clubs, and for several weeks was one of three Madonna songs on the Club Play top 50.

Trivia

"Nobody Knows Me" is also the title of Madonna's special fan club-only photo book profiling her career.

LYRICS
I've had so many lives
since I was a child
and I realize
how many times I've died

I'm not that kind of guy
sometimes I feel shy
I think I can fly
closer to the sky

no one's telling you
how to live your life
but it's a setup
until you're fed up

this world is not so kind
people trap your mind
it's so hard to find
someone to admire

I, I sleep much better at night
I feel closer to the light
now I'm gonna try
to improve my life

no one's telling you
how to live your life
but it's a setup
until you're fed up
it's no good
when you're misunderstood
but why should I care
what the world thinks of me
won't let a stranger
give me a social disease

nobody nobody knows me
nobody knows me
nobody knows me
like you know me

nobody knows me
nobody knows me
nobody knows me
like you know me

no one's telling you
how to live your life
but it's a setup
until you're fed up
it's no good
when you're misunderstood
but why should I care
what the world thinks of me
won't let a stranger
give me a social disease

I don't want no lies
I don't watch TV
I don't waste my time
won't read a magazine

I don't want no lies
I don't watch TV
I don't waste my time
won't read a magazine

I, I sleep much better at night
I feel closer to the light
now I'm gonna try
to improve my life

nobody nobody nobody
nobody knows me
nobody knows me
nobody knows me
like you know me

LAYERED:

nobody knows me
nobody knows me
nobody knows me
like like you know me
like you know me
like you know me
like you know me
like you know me

(it's no fun but the damage is done)
(don't want your social disease)
(don't want your social disease)

nobody knows me
nobody knows me
nobody knows me
like you know me

nobody knows me
nobody knows me
nobody knows me
like like you know me

(I don't want no lies)
(I don't watch TV)
(I don't waste my time)
(won't read a magazine)
(I don't want no lies)
(I don't watch TV)
(I don't waste my time)
(won't read a magazine)

don't want your social disease
