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,
ideas 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,
And nobody I'd rather be,
I am the one and only,
You can't take
that away from me.
