Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I don't have as many friends because

I'm not as pretty as I was

I've kicked myself at times because I've lied

So I will have to learn to stand my ground

I'll tell them I won't be around

I'll move on over to your town and hide

[Chorus]

And you be the captain, and I'll be no one

And you can carry me away if you want to

And you can lay low just like your father

And if I tread upon your feet, you just say so

'Cause you're the captain, I am no one

I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

To you

[Verse 2]

Well, I have handed all my efforts in

Searched here for my second wind

Is there somewhere here to let me in, I asked

So I slammed the doors they slammed at me

I found the place I'm meant to be

I figured out my destiny at last

[Chorus]

And you be the captain, and I'll be no one

And you can carry me away if you want to

And you can lay low just like your father

And if I tread upon your feet, you just say so

'Cause you're the captain, I am no one

I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

To you

[Bridge]

Did I forget to thank you for the ride

I hadn't tried, I tend to runaway and hide

[Chorus]

And you be the captain, and I'll be no one

And you can carry me away if you want to

And you can lay low just like your father

And if I tread upon your feet, you just say so

'Cause you're the captain, I am no one

I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

[Outro]

'Cause you're the captain, I am no one

I tend to feel as though I owe one to you (To you)

'Cause you're the captain, and I am no one

And I owe one to you
