Eartha Kitt Nobody Taught Me song lyrics

When I was a baby so I've been told

I was walking and talking at six weeks old

Nobody taught me. I figured it out for myself.

Well, you never get nowhere counting on somebody else

When I was in first grade just a week

I gave the other kiddies a course in Greek

At sweet sixteen I was busily employed

Explaining the theories of Sigmund Freud

Nobody taught me. I figured it out for myself.

When I found out what I could mean to men

My education started all over again

It really doesn't matter if you rich or poor

Just a millionaire who loves you can make you feel secure

Nobody taught me. I figured it out for myself.

I landed in Las Vegas

Broke the bank three times

I went to hire Liyah

Had the boogies bumming dimes

Nobody taught me. I figured it out for myself.

Well, you never get nowhere counting on someone else.

I was sued by J. P. Morgan for control of the Bank

Awarded me the verdict

I had just myself at the bank

The case was rounded up quick

As the Judge could plainly see

And you call it self defense

Because the law, yo was mean

Nobody taught me. I figured it out for myself.

Well, you never get nowhere counting on someone else.

I said you never get nowhere counting on someone else.

Tennis anyone?
