Nothing Like You

|
Four blocks up and two streets down,
|
I went back to my old hometown
|
Like a kid I ran and hid on cue
|
That¡¯s when times were really sad
|
Winter there was really bad
|
And we all just froze but for a chosen few
|
Did you ever see someone you knew
|
Holding fast and staying strong and true
|
And they were nothing like you?
|
Truth to tell and time to burn
|
I hit the wall at every turn
|
The ceiling cracked in half and I just flew
|
Poetry is what I heard
|
I was hanging onto every word
|
I was a lover for the world to woo
|
I have seen the top of Mt. Ventoux
|
I have seen a miracle or two
|
And they¡¯re N O T H I N G L I K E Y O U
|
You¡¯ve been waiting for awhile
|
I can tell
|
Off my head and on the fence
|
Maybe there¡¯s no accidents
|
Anyway I¡¯d say I have come to
|
So fool me once that might be fun
|
Fool me twice well that¡¯s been done
|
You can fool me everyday I won¡¯t say boo
|
I believe I have pulled a major coup
|
I believe I have boarded up the zoo
|
I believe I have dropped the other shoe
|
And there¡¯s N O T H I N G L I K E Y O U
|
