I ain't lookin' like nobody's fool, save it for somebody else

And I ain't makin' any desperate move, 'till I'm satisfied myself

I ain't waitin' for no invitation, I just wanna walk on thru

I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said



I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room

I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize

'Cos what's so special 'bout a girl like you, with a silver spoon



In a city where the buildings rise, I was just another face

But mama told me when somebody dies, no one else can take your place

I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said



I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room

I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize

'Cos I've got something for a girl like you, with a silver spoon



I always knew I'd be somebody, I kept it in my head

I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said



I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room

I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize

'Cos what's so special 'bout a girl like you, with a silver spoon
