I am the one and only Oh yeah ♪ 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 know best I'm not the same as all the rest 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 Add years above my station Maybe but all this time I've tried To walk with dignity and pride 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 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 ♪ 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 am the one and only (one and only) Nobody I'd rather be I am the one and only (the one and only) You can't take that away from me
