Lyrics

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
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, but 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
