Face in the Crowd Lyrics
Don't try to tell me you're the only one
Don't ever me that you're mine
You hear that I've been running around
Now you're asking why
Don't start asking why he's running around
Don't try to find out why
Don't go looking where you shouldn't look
'Cause you won't like what you find
You think that you're the only one
How about you take a look around
(take a look around)
I never had trouble getting girls I don't need
(you're just a face in the crowd)
You're not the one, not the one
and not only that you're not anyone, anyone
you're not anyone
yeah you're not the one, not the one
you're not anyone at all
Don't try to tell me you're the only one
(not the one)
Don't ever tell me you're the only one
(not the one)
You better hear me say
(you better wise up)
It can never be that way
(you're on the way out)
You better hear me say
It can never be that way
Don't try to tell me you're the only one
You're not anyone at all
(you're on the way out)
Don't ever tell me you're the only one
You're not anyone at all
(you're on the way out)
You're on your way out
You're not the one, not the one
and not only that you're not anyone, anyone
you're not anyone
(you're on your way out)
yeah you're not the one, not the one
you're not anyone at all
(You're on your way out)
You're not the one, not the one
and not only that you're not anyone, anyone
you're not anyone
(you're on your way out)
yeah you're not the one, not the one
you're not anyone at all
(You're on your way)
You're not the one, not the one
and not only that you're not anyone, anyone
you're not anyone
yeah you're not the one, not the one
you're not anyone at all
Don't ever me that you're mine
You hear that I've been running around
Now you're asking why
Don't try to find out why
Don't go looking where you shouldn't look
'Cause you won't like what you find
How about you take a look around
(take a look around)
I never had trouble getting girls I don't need
(you're just a face in the crowd)
and not only that you're not anyone, anyone
you're not anyone
yeah you're not the one, not the one
you're not anyone at all
(not the one)
Don't ever tell me you're the only one
(not the one)
(you better wise up)
It can never be that way
(you're on the way out)
You better hear me say
It can never be that way
You're not anyone at all
(you're on the way out)
Don't ever tell me you're the only one
You're not anyone at all
(you're on the way out)
You're on your way out
and not only that you're not anyone, anyone
you're not anyone
(you're on your way out)
yeah you're not the one, not the one
you're not anyone at all
and not only that you're not anyone, anyone

You're not the one, not the one
and not only that you're not anyone, anyone
you're not anyone
yeah you're not the one, not the one
you're not anyone at all

i think the lyrics are pretty straightforward-- a person telling someone else that they aren't important to them, that they are somewhat disposable and shouldn't start thinking that they mean anything to that person since they're "not anyone at all"
"Don't try to tell me you're the only one Don't ever me that you're mine You hear that I've been running around Now you're asking why"
His girlfriend has heard that he's been seen with other women and she's started to ask him why. And how she thought she was the only one for him. And he's telling her that he's not her one and only.
"Don't start asking why he's running around Don't try to find out why Don't go looking where you shouldn't look 'Cause you won't like what you find"
I'm not sure who's saying this... the voice in her head OR her friends. They're telling her to not ask questions, don't try and find out why he's seeing all these women. It's pretty self-explanatory.
I think the song is about a guy cheating on his girlfriend, but he's not afraid of her to find out. She thinks he's her one and only true love. Except he doesn't think that, in fact, he thinks she's 'nothing at all'.
