Words that rhyme with Nobody
Nobody, a three-syllable stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word, lands its weight on the tight /ɪ/ and leaves the vowel hanging open. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Engine returns: the perfect column comes up empty, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Lyric returns: a quotidian anchor. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why nobody rhymes the way it does
Pull nobody apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 154, assonance 6,344, and consonance 59. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Nobody rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
