couldn't bear to be special
prefab sprout
i couldn't bear to be special
who makes the cornball things occur
don't expect so much of me
there's a mile between the way you see me
so don't stare at me that way
of course it gives me pride
but i won't take on the risk
of letting down the sweet
did you mean to humble me?
so you did it unsuspectingly
for moving past what really has no name
i couldn't bear to be special
so don't look at me and say
who makes the cornball things occur
