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 f
