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)
