I got a friend that nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
I got a friend that nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
Oh, Mama thinks I’m talking to myself again
I know she thinks I’m out of my mind
But I’m really talking to my secret friend
We get along just fine

I got a friend that nobody hears
Nobody hears but me
I got a friend that nobody hears
Nobody hears but me
Oh, I always go to sleep when my Daddy says
I kiss him and turn out the light
But my friend is sitting on the edge of the bed
Talking to me every night

Everybody says it’s just a stage I’m in
Everybody says I’m just a kid
But they’ve never traveled to the places I’ve been
Or done the crazy things that my friend and I did

Well, I got a friend that nobody sees
Nobody sees but me
I got a friend that nobody sees
Nobody sees but me

I got a friend that nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
I got a friend that nobody knows
Nobody hears
Nobody sees
Nobody’s spoken to
And nobody can
Nobody knows but me!
