the one and only

I am the one and only, oh yeah
Call me, call me by my name
Or call me by number
You put me through it
Ill still be doing it the way I do it
And yet you try to make me forget
Who I really am
Dont tell me I know best
Im not the same as all the rest
I am the one and only
Nobody Id rather be
I am the one and only
You cant take that away from me
Ive 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 Ive tried
To walk with dignity and pride
I am the one and only
Nobody Id rather be
I am the one and only
You cant take that away from me
I cant wear this uniform
Without some compromises
Because youll find out that we come
In different shapes and sizes
No one can be myself like I can
For this job, Im the best man
And while this may be true
You are the one and only you
I am the one and only
Nobody Id rather be
I am the one and only
You cant take that away from me
I am the one and only
I am the one and only
Nobody Id rather be
I am the one and only
The one and only
You cant take that away from me
