John Cale
Nobody But You
[Verse 1]
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 blasé, party Andy's what the papers say
At dinner I'm the one who pays for a nobody like you

[Chorus]
Nobody but you, a nobody like you
Since I got shot, there's nobody but you

[Verse 2]
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

[Guitar Break]

[Verse 3]
Sundays I pray a lot, I 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 doctor said that I was gone
Inside I've got some shattered bone for nobody but you

[Chorus]
Nobody but you, nobody like you
Shattered bone for nobody but you
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
Nobody like you, a nobody like you
All my life, it's been nobodies like you
