The One and Only Lyrics

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 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
