Nobody but You — текст песни (John Cale)

Words and music: lou reed & john cale



I really care a lot although I look like I do not

Since I was shot theres nobody but you

I know I look blase, party andys what the papers say

At dinner Im the one who pays - for a nobody like you

Nobody but you, a nobody like you

Since I got shot theres nobody but you



Wont you decorate my house

Ill sit there quiet as a mouse

You know me I like to look a lot - at nobody like you

Ill hold your hand and slap my face

Ill tickle you to your disgrace

Wont you put me in my proper place - a nobody like you



Sundays I pray a lot, Id 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 Ive got some shattered bone for nobody but you



Im still not sure I didnt die

And if Im dreaming I still have bad pains inside

I know Ill 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 Id ask to be in - with a nobody like you

Nobody like you, a nobody like you, all my life -

Its been nobodies like you
