Nobody Else But Me Lyrics by Frederica von Stade

Show Boat (1988 Studio Cast)

1988

[KIM]
I was a shy, demure type,
Inhibited, insecure type
Of maid.
I stayed
Within my little shell
Till a certain cutie
Told me I was swell.
Now I'm smug and snooty,
Confident as hell.
I want to be
No one but me.
I am in love with a lover
Who likes me the way I am.
I have my faults--
He likes my faults.
I'm not very bright--
He's not very bright.
He thinks I'm grand,
That's grand for me--
He may be wrong,
But if we get along,
What do we care, say we?
When he holds me close,
Close as we can be,
I tell the lad that
I'm grateful and I'm glad that
I'm nobody else but me!
[CHORUS]
I want to be
No one but me.
I am in love with a lover
Who likes me the way I am.
I have my faults,
He likes my faults--
I'm not very bright,
He's not very bright.
[KIM]
He thinks I'm grand,
That's grand for me.
I get a thrill
Knowing he gets a thrill
When I sit on his knee.
Walking on the shore,
Swimming in the sea,
When I am with him
I'm glad that girl who's with him
Is nobody else but me!
[CHORUS]
They are a modern couple,
They're sinuous, lithe and supple,
And so
They know
The dance that is up-to-date!
[KIM]
We can do the Charleston
In the lightest way.
[CHORUS]
Can they do the Charleston?
[KIM]
Boy, oh boy! Hey hey!
