Well-known Pop song "Your Nobody Called Today" -about possible infidelity (1970's???)

[Midwest Rocker]

Trying to identify the Artist and Song Title for the below.

The main lyrics that were repeated over and over again in the chorus were:

"YOUR NOBODY CALLED TODAY, SHE HUNG UP WHEN I ASKED HER NAME"
(sung like "Your Nooo-body called today, she hung up, when I asked her name")

It may also have been followed by something like "DOES SHE THINK SHE'S CLEVER"


It's been about two years now since I last heard it on the radio, and while I still have the melody in my head - too bad you can't hear it ... well on second thought, you wouldn't want to hear me sing, trust me - the rest of the lyrics have faded from my memory.



Other information:
* I believe this was a fairly popular song (top 40)

* Female Vocal

* A story telling ballad

* Easy going vocal singing style (no vocal gymnastics, screaming, falsettos, etc.) with the singer more up front in the mix

* Guessing it was from the 1970's era

* Likely played originally on Top 40/Easy Listening/AM Radio format stations

* The implied topic of the song I believe was about a women who was suspicious that her husband/boyfriend was having an affair, because she kept getting telephone calls at home, that when she answered, a female voice was on the line that wouldn't identify herself and would then hang up. Each time this would happen, the next time the women saw her husband/boyfriend, she would say "Your nobody called today, she hung up when I asked her name"...


I know I haven't given much to go on lyrically, but because of it being a pretty big hit, I'm hoping someone will remember it.

"Nobody" by Sylvia / Is this it?


Sittin' in a restaurant
She walked by
I seemed to recall
That certain look in your eye
I said, who's that
You said, with a smile
Aah, it's nobody
Aah, nobody

Maybe that explains the last two week
You called me up, dead on your feet
Working late again
I asked who with
You said, nobody
Aah, nobody

Well your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder
Does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ooh, ooh)
You say, nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better

Late last night we went for a drive
You were miles away
I asked, who's on your mind
You said, nobody (nobody)
Why do you ask
Oh, her again
I could've told you that

We came back home
Got ready for bed
I said to myself
I've got one shot left
Your still mine and I won't stand in line
Behind nobody
Nobody

Well, your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ohh, ohh)
You say nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better

Well, your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ohh, ohh)
You say nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better...

Logan01 & Mumbles:

Thank You, "Nobody" by Sylvia was the one I was looking for.

I knew this was a "Song Identify 101" level question because it was such a big hit, but I just could not figure it out.

Thanks again

No problem; glad to get you your song. Now if you could help me remove Mumbles from my browser, in a gentle and thoughtful manner of course, everything will be "hunky-dory".
