Silver Spoon

(album: Hot In The Shade - 1989)

I ain't looking like nobody's fool
Save it for somebody else
And I ain't making any desperate move
'Til I'm satisfied myself

I ain't waiting for no invitation, I just wanna 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, girl like you, girl like you with a silver spoon

Don't try and tell me where you're going and what's you up to
Where I'm from everybody [?] by it

You got everything and much too soon
I wasn't born with a silver spoon
Everything you wanted [?]
I wasn't born with a silver spoon

You got everything and much too soon
I wasn't born with a silver spoon
Everything you wanted [?]
I wasn't born with a silver spoon
