Lyle Lovett - Nobody Knows Me Lyrics

I still cry to this song from 90210... After Dylan’s wife died..

Amazing performance

I just discovered Lyle yesterday when someone doing a concert played one of his songs, and I love this song so much. I don't know how I could have gone so long without knowing about Lyle, he is awesome!

A good companion song that comes to mind - 'north of the border' - is When My Baby Calls My Name, by Stephen Fearing.

Are all his songs.. 40 bpm?

this is my pretend girlfriend song! or inflatable girl song

Hasta siempre. Dilan ...luke perry ....

Maybe the most beautiful cheatin' song ever written.

Is that Willy to his left?

Oh man! Bless ye heart!

Lyle I so love you and you have a face of a Comanche a great warrior! You are a great man with a great song! I love you!

Hola ,lo leí en inglés pero hay palabras que no comprendo,lo podrían subtitular?
GRACIAS. Yo amo Beverly Hills 90210.

What a performance! Beautiful really

awesome......

Nobody knows me..... like my Baby...... and I swore there weren't nothin to it....

I love this song. Always have, always will

Great song !! That's talent when you can sing and play like that when its just you alone !

HITS HOME

Lyle. No need to say anything else. Mmmm.

This shit right here. This will break your heart.

Devastating...

always love the one youre with... everyone else just uses you for THEIR convenience... no-one knows you like your baby...

this is my dads cousin,

BEVERLY HILLS 90210!!! SO sad

MsLuvmusic81 Dylan McKay sobbing

Yeah :(

@FOXAMG63 I was too....even at 34 when I watch now

now its really sad with luke gone!

As he said in a performance I saw, 'this is a cheatin' song'. I hadn't picked up on that until he mentioned it. Gorgeous!

+Jeff Gunther man, I was wondering what happened south of the border!

Of course some boys just look across the border to learn the ways of love 😀

+Jeff Gunther LOL!

As you probably know, that's a line from his song North Dakota. If you've never heard it, check it out...killer duet with Rickie Lee Jones. On the Joshua Judges Ruth album :)

A cheatin song about Mexican food. Lol. Only Lyle.

I love this ist remind off my ex fionce

I'm so sorry Magnus.

So many here seem not to understand that this relates a personal tragedy. For me it wasn't an engagement, but a lover and best friend for 42 years stupidly pissed away forever.

Thankfully this is an anonymous board. Even so, let's you and me just leave it at that.

Lyle, you can come over here and get those 'eggs over easy' anytime.

Amazing song by Lyle Lovett ! You know you've written a brilliant song when Willie Nelson is sitting next to you and sheds a tear.

Joonas Havukainen He wasnt crying. He was itching his face

right under his eye...

@Vincent Corpus he was pretending to itch his face!

Nobody Knows Me ...

thank you so much. I don't want to sound silly, but, it's the simplicy that is perfect.

..first heard it on Beverly Hills 90210... and later in the movie 2 days in the Valley, graveyard scene... sad powerful song..

great version of this tune 

That was a songwriter's special,and I will be sorry to my dying day that I didn't record it.

Rodney Crowell performed one of his songs that left Willie and Lyle speechless and looking like they were going to cry,and both had heard that song a thousand times by everybody they knew. Willie had even recorded it himself. There were a few moments of absolute silence when he stopped singing,and everybody was looking at the floor.

I was there too & if anything, he sounds better than ever.

I heard him sing this song last night in Portland...brought tears to my eyes. His voice still rocks.

Jealous

Perfection. Thanks for posting.

just a beautiful song, perfectly rendered. surprisingly simple to pick, but tricky to master. a moment in time and space that has passed from this world. I remember it well. thanks for posting this.

Brilliant; two vastly different artists, but I always see a parallel with Tom Waits - a sensitively poetic lyricist and a superb musician rolled into one. Loved Lyle since seeing him at Cardiff Arms Park in 1992 supporting Dire Straits.

...after 10 years i've found out that my heart still belongs with you, 3500 km away from where i have raised a family with another beautiful woman. And i can see now how so much of the bitterness of my life has come from the feeling of being alone...i had forgotten this feeling of wholeness, like being suspended in time, in space, drifting through eternity. together all the madness disappears, everythings so simple and true. i'll miss you forever...nobody knows me like you do....

Made Willie Nelson cry. Says enough.

I've known this song for years, and have listened to it I don't even know how many times. I've always found it moving, but this version made me tear up! I never do that!

the first time i heard this song was in the movie 61, love it

is willie wiping away a tear, around the 2 minute mark?

good stuff..

weep alarm ...

i just heard the song on Beverly Hills 90210, episode "One Wedding and a Funeral" ... I am dying right now!

Lyle Lovett is the consumate story teller. The songs he writes and the way he delivers them is pure genius I believe. Lots of folks refere to him as a songwriter and I guess he is...but I truely believe he is basically a poet...and one of the first order. He is unique. Not many artists can consistantly deliver the quality of work that he does.

I was wondering if anyone else saw that. Thats priceless.

Rooster boy my ass this is one of the most talented artist of the past 30yrs

My brother in law once thought Lyle was a country singer until he started listening and now things he is simply one of the best performers and musicians he has ever heard. Few can match Lovett's lyrical brilliance and his music paints another brilliant picture on it's own. I love the guitar on this... I always picture a quiet room with a clock ticking away the minutes of a quiet Sunday morning.

Just beautiful.Talented man.Has written some great songs.

Lyle, Australia loves you too

very underated song should have a billion more views also i think the world would be a better place if everyone listened to this song everyday

@1:59 willie wipes a tear from his eye :)

this man really knows how to use a capo

:) true song.

Willie Nelson is sitting next to Lyle, with his broken cigar box guitar, and thinking to himself: "Man... I suck!!".

Quite possibly the best song ever to come our of Texas.

simply brilliant.........what a voice!!!!!!!

aww luv this song reminds me of 90210 back in the days sad

90210 !!!! I like the song very much. Reminds of Luke Perry/90210 !!!!!!

Honestly, the most beautiful song ever. <3

You are a ladies man Lyle. Saw you with John Hiatt last month. I could watch your show every night! We loved you both!

@tinnitic been looking for that ever since it was broadcast! i became a Lyle fan that night 'Her First Mistake" was unforgetable

@tinnitic i so agree just tried to find it

Can someone PLEASE post " Her First Mistake ", done this same night...

shivers! I get shivers, it's so pretty. Touches my very soul.

@stedrod nice

Sublime...this man has the voice of an angel...no wonder Julia fell in love with him...he could sit and sing to me all day long...and I would see him as the most beautiful creature on God's green Earth!

Love this a lot!! <3

unbelievably profound and moving. masterpiece.

@joshde82 Me too man... Now I am a huge lyle lovett fan.. I just saw him in concet..

One of the best!

thank you....that's all I can say.

Mr. Lovett does justice to this sweet and simple song!

love this song...

Lyle did "Her First Mistake", this same night. anyone see a copy of that anywhere? Such a great tune!

i m a huge lyle fan, and i love what you wrote here. you r obviously a big fan as well, and you truly get it with this guy. he has such a great touch and his sound on this is so great and it typifies his live shows. his guitar has a distinctive sound and goes so well with his voice..... funny thing on this performance is his voice actually cracks a little and you can see him holding in a grin..... this guy is great and i'm so glad to see other people geting into his music. thanks

speechless

Great song so simple and can conect to everyone!!! Great job on posting it....i first heard it in the movie *61

The intimacy of this song is overwhelming. Austin City Limits... is that Willie wiping away a tear about 2:00?
