Nothing Like You Lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Four blocks up and two streets down 

I went back to my old hometown 

Like a kid I ran and hid on cue 

For that's when times were really sad 

Winter there was really bad 

And we all just froze but for a chosen few 

Did you ever see someone you knew 

Holding fast and staying strong and true 

And they were nothing like you? 

Truth to tell and time to burn 

I hit the wall at every turn 

The ceiling cracked in half and I just flew 

And poetry is what I heard 

I was hanging onto every word 

I was a lover for the world to woo 

And I have seen the top of Mt. Ventoux 

I have seen a miracle or two 

And they're nothing like you 

You've been waiting for awhile 

I can tell 

Off my head and on the fence 

Maybe there's no accidents 

Anyway I'd say I have come to 

So fool me once that might be fun 

Fool me twice, well, that's been done 

You can fool me everyday, I won't say "Boo" 

I believe I have pulled a major coup 

I believe I have boarded up the zoo 

I believe I have dropped the other shoe 

And there's nothing like you
