Words and music: lou reed & john cale
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 like 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
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
