nobody but you

Lou Reed

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 (* accented on ?e?)
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 like 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 bone, 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
