Never Had a Single Original Thought

by Nerina Pallot

on Free as You Wanna Be (2014), My Best Friends Are Imaginary: A Year of EPs (2016)

[Verse 1]
I never had a single original thought in my head
I never said something that somebody else hadn't already said
If I sing you a song, you'll be singing along 'cos you heard it from some place else
But at the end of the day at least you can say I'm honest
[Pre-Chorus]
Some people gonna tell you there's things that only they can do
I ain't gon' lie, I won't lie to you
[Chorus]
Oh, I know I'm nothin' special
You know I understand
I know there's nothing makes me
Better than the next man
Oh, but I know that there is one thing only I can do for you:
Ain't nobody gonna love you as much as I do
Ain't nobody gonna love you as much as I do
[Verse 2]
The castles and museums, all the people go to see 'em and ponder over what they mean
I'm happy just to gaze at the light upon your face, it's the loveliest thing I ever see
I just get confused when people go and use their awfully big long words
Maybe I'm just lazy 'cos I always stick to phrases that I already heard
[Bridge]
I ain't gon' try
[?]
Ah, you know me now, I like to keep things real
[Chorus]
I know I'm nothin' special
You know I understand
I know there's nothing makes me
Better than the next man
No, but I know that there is one thing only I can do for you:
Ain't nobody gonna love you as much as I do
Yeah, there ain't nobody gonna love you as much as I do
[Bridge]
I ain't gon' try
[?]
You know me now, I like to keep things real
[Chorus]
I know I'm nothin' special
I know you understand
I know there's nothing makes me
Better than the next man
No, but I know that there is one thing only I can do for you:
Ain't nobody gonna love you as much as I do
No, there ain't nobody gonna love you as much as I do
Ooh, ain't nobody gonna love you as much as I do
Yeah, there ain't nobody gonna love you as much as I do
