Obscure 80s lyrics time ;-)
I recently refound on WinMX one of my all time favorite 80s songs..
Chesney Hawkes, I am the One and Only
Call me, call me by my name or call me by my number,
You put me through it,
I’ll still be doing it the way I do it,
And yet, you try to make me forget,
Who I really am, don’t tell me, I know best,
I’m not the same as all the rest,
Chorus:
I am the one and only,
Nobody I’d rather be,
I am the one and only,
You can’t take that away from me
I’ve been a player in the crowd scene,
A flicker on the big screen,
My soul embraces, one more in a million faces,
High hopes and aspirations, ideas above my station
maybe but all this time I’ve tried to walk with dignity and pride
Chorus
I can’t wear this uniform without some compromises,
Because you’ll find out that we come,
In different shapes and sizes,
No one can be myself like I can,
For this job I’m the best man,
And while this may be true, you are the one and only you!
Chorus – repeat to fade out

That’s what I love about 80s music.. the optimism..

That song reached the top-40 chart on 9/7/91 so I would not consider it an 80s song.
