The One & Only

Music: nik kershaw, lyrics: nik kershaw

Call me, call me by my name or call me by my number
You put me through it
I'll still be doing it the way I do it and yet, you try to make me forget, who I really am
Don't tell me I'm no best
I'm not the same as all the rest

Chorus:
I am the one and only nobody I'd rather be
I am the one and only, you can't take that away from me

I've been a player in the crowd scene
A flicker on the big screen
My soul embraces one more in a million faces
High hopes and aspirations, and years above my station
Maybe but all this time I've tried to walk with dignity and pride

Chorus

I can't wear this uniform without some compromises
Because you'll find out that we come
In different shapes and sizes
No one can be myself like I can
For this job I'm the best man
And while this may be true, you are the one and only you

Chorus (twice)
