I am the one and only

Call me
Call me by my name
Call me by number
Put me through
Ill 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
No body I'd rather be
I am the one and only
Can't take that away from me

I've been
A player in the closet
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'll try
To walk with dignity and pride

I am the one and only
No body I'd rather be
I am the one and only
Can't take that away from me

I can't promise you the form
Without some compromises
Because you find out that we come
In different shapes and sizes

No one
Could be myself like I can
For this job I'm the best man
Though all this may be true
You are the one and only you

I am the one and only
No body I'd rather be
I am the one and only
Can't take that away from me

I am the one and only
No body I'd rather be
I am the one and only
Can't take that away from me
