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 want to walk on through
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
Cause 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
Cause 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
Cause what's so special 'bout a girl like you, with a silver spoon
