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
Chorus:
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

Chorus...
