[Intro]
B E G#m F#
I am the one and only,
B F# G#m E G#m F# B A
Oh yeah!
[Verse 1]
G#m B E
Call me, call me by my name or
B C#m
call me by my number
B E
Put me through it
F#
I'll still be doing it the way I do it
Bm D G
And yet you try to make me forget

Who I really am

don't tell me I'd know best

I'm not the same as all the rest
[Chorus]

I am the one and only

A flicker on the big screen
B E

Because you'll find out that we come
Em
In different shapes and sizes
