Couldn't Bear To Be Special Lyrics

Bo bo bee, bo bee, bo bo-bo bee, bo bee, bo
I couldn't bear to be special, I couldn't bear, couldn't bear. I couldn't bear, right?
BO be bo be bo
So don't look at me and say, that I'm the very one, who makes the cornball things occur, the shiver of the fur.
Don't expect so much of me, I'm just an also-ran,
there's a mile between the way you see me and the way I am.
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 sweet side
Did you mean to humble me?
So you did it unsuspectingly!
Oh words are trains, for moving past what really has no name.
Bo bo be bo be bo
I couldn't bear to be special, I couldn't bear, couldn't bear.
So, don't look at me and say, that I'm the very one, who makes the cornball things occur, the shiver of the fur, right?

I always assumed that this song was about someone who was retarded since the phrase "special" had the connotation in the 1980s in the US (don't know about the UK). That plus the parts about cornball things and the "Boooooooooo beeeeeee" parts.

@sbfisher fucking hell solene, I strongly disagree. I can't you would suggest such meaning to this song. Especially in this day and age. Bo bo bee clearly refers to the quite vulgar definition of a female breast.

Take one big fat middle finger from the whole of the UK. #disappointed
