Neil Sedaka - Going Nowhere Lyrics
Considering
So many folks dissatisfied with everything
Who need someone to understand they're lonely
They're lonely
And they're not alone
And everywhere
They shrug their shoulders
Tell themselves that they don't care
And all the while they make believe they're happy
Oh, they're happy
But not really
And they're asked to hold the world together
Make it happen
Give it children
And all the strength they'd ever need to help them
Has been wasted
Remains hidden
In the confusion of going nowhere
And who am I
To criticize the world that I have grown up in
Most of you would tell me that I'm crazy
Yes, I'm crazy
I can't help it
I understand
That where you are is where you've been so many years
And things that tend to change you, tend to hurt you
Yes, they hurt you
Very deeply
And still you try to hold the world together
Make it happen
Give it children
Who in turn are turning on to going nowhere
And all the strength they'd ever need to help them
Has been wasted
Remains hidden
In the confusion of going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going, going, going nowhere
Going nowhere

Neil Sedaka Going Nowhere Comments
this version is best tomy mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=017_qjPfIgk
LOL, after that suicide note of a song, the positively cheery "Thanks for listening!" is a bit off.....
A lovely song from Neil, but as others have commented, Lena Zavaroni totally owned this song with her version.
I've only just heard Lena Zavaroni's cover version of this song. And you're absolutely right. It was her life story, such a tragic loss and so much talent.
I agre with you
My first record of Neil's i bought was Oh Carole and have been a fan ever since .......his voice takes me back to my younger years and for that i will always be grateful. An Amazing talent.
classy song from a classy songwritter
he never got the love he should have.. he is one of the best,
My favourite song of Neil's... gorgeous man! Such talent xxx
A beautiful song. But you have to listen to Lena Zavaroni's version because it is absolute perfection. She was a phenomenal singer.
Lena's rendition is so moving.
No one sings it like her....sad
What a fabulous song! By Neil, Eddie Buchanan, Lena Zavaroni and many other talented singers. If this song doesn't give you goose-bumps, I don't know what will. How fantastic would it have been if Roy Orbison had recorded it. Perhaps Neil can tell us why he didn't.
oh god how right!
I realized before I was 21 You Will always be going "Nowhere" Until YOU Accept Yourself for WHO You were Really Born To Be......'Stand Tall' and shout out to The World "This Is Me take Me for WHO I AM" or please move ON out of My Life Because I intend to Go Somewhere with Someone that Loves Me Just the Way I Am.....Thank You so Much My Angel, Robby for this Dedication ......This brought Tears to my eyes my Angel.......Your Bob
i like Neil singing this, but much prefer Lena Zavaroni
fab song kinda sums up humans
Brilliant.Enough said
OH, I remember this song. This is ANOTHER pretty one by Neil Sedaka. I think it gets overlooked because he has so many beautiful ones!
what a brill song so much feeling from neil .budgie
from a truly great album Laughter in the rain, so many great songs on one record..
I love this song so much, if anyone has Bernie Clifton singing it, (Love Soup bbc) please let me know
A beautiful song with a lot of meaning. Thank you for sharing.
Lovely version but Lena Zavaroni embodied this song perfectly. Sheer perfection.
Hi!
I noticed you're a fan of Sam Smith just like me. I recently did a cover of Stay With Me and would love to know what you think. I'm sure you probably get this a lot, but I'm just an artist doing everything I know how to do to get my name out there and my music and message heard. Your feedback would mean so much and would not go unnoticed. Thank you so much for your time. Hope you're having a beautiful day!
Love Naia "Stay With Me" - Sam Smith (Naia Kete Cover )
The Lena Zavaroni performance clip brought me here. Neil wrote a beautiful and touching song and he sings it powerfully. I love both renditions.
