Everyday that passes I get ugly and different
You'd never love me if you weren't so persistent
At some times I'm a fop and a cad and a fool
But no one will love you like I do

When I was a boy I could have been quite smart
If I'd thought with my head and not with my heart
If I didn't treat apathy like some form of art
No one will love you like I do

They'll never see what I see
Or you reserve for me (what you reserve)
And they won't know when you need to talk
And they won't remember lifting you to put you in a cab
When you were too drunk to walk

If God spoke to us, he'd say we'd been bad
We were the worst world he'd ever had
Stop all this communion and just hold hands
For no one will love you like I do

Your differences are nothing but they take up your time
Your governments are useless and they can't make up their minds
Please just remember this one simple line
No one will love you like I do

They'll never see what I see
Or you reserve for me (what you reserve)
And they won't know when you need to talk
And they won't remember lifting you to put you in a cab
When you were too drunk to walk

So you see dear, all that I am is an equally attractive and unattractive man
Maybe you were wishing I had a better plan
But no one will love you
You don't let me love like
Everybody loves you like I do
