  • 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
    'Cause you're the captain, I am no one
    I tend to feel as though I owe one to you, to you

    Well I have handed all my efforts in
    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

    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
    'Cause you're the captain, I am no one
    I tend to feel as though I owe one to you, to you

    Did I forget to thank you for the ride
    I hadn't tried I tend to runaway 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
    'Cause you're the captain, I am no one
    I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

    'Cause you're the captain, I am no one
    I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
    'Cause you're the captain, and I am no one
    And I owe one to you, to you Writer/s: KASEY CHAMBERS
