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...
