nobody like you

i really care a lot
although i look like i do not
since i was shot
there’s nobody but you

i know i look blase
party andy’s what the papers say
at dinner i’m the one who pays
for a nobody like you

nobody but you
a nobody like you
since i got shot
there’s nobody but you

won’t you decorate my house
i’ll sit there quiet as a mouse
you know me i like to look a lot
at nobody but you

i’ll hold your hand and slap my face
i’ll tickle you to your disgrace
won’t you put me in my proper place
a nobody like you

sundays i pray a lot
i’d like to wind you up and paint your clock
i want to be what i am not
for a nobody like you

the bullet split my spleen and lung
the doctors said i was gone
inside i’ve got some shattered bone
for nobody but you

nobody but you
a nobody like you
shattered bones
for nobody but you

i’m still not sure i didn’t die
and if i’m dreaming i still have bad pains inside
i know i’ll never be a bride
to nobody like you

i wish i had a stronger chin
my skin was good, my nose was thin
this is no movie i’d ask to be in
with a nobody like you

nobody like you
a nobody like you
all my life

it’s been nobodies like you
