Well I don’t have as many friends because
I’m not as pretty as I was
I’ve kicked myself at times because I’ve lied
So I will have to learn to stand my ground
I’ll tell ‘em I won’t be around
I’ll move on over to your town and hide
And you be the Captain and I’ll be no-one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low just like your father and if
I tread upon your feet you just say so
[CHORUS]
‘cos you’re the Captain ,I am no one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
Well I have handed all my efforts in
I searched here for my second wind
Is there somewhere here to let me in I asked
So I slammed the doors they slammed at me
I found the place I’m meant to be
I figured out my destiny at last
CHORUS
Did I forget to thank you for the ride
I hadn’t tried I tend to run away and hide
CHORUS
And you be the Captain
And I am no one
And I owe one to you
