Il testo della Nobody but you

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
