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'm no best I'm not the same as all the rest.
Chorus:
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, and years above my station Maybe, but all this time I've tried to walk with dignity and pride
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
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.
