As with “It’s a Jungle Out There”, “She Chose Me” long predates much of the material on Dark Matter. Newman wrote this song for the ill-fated police procedural/musical Cop Rock in 1990, where it appeared in the pilot episode.
I’m not much to talk to
And I know how I look
What I know about life
Comes out of a book
But of all of the people
There are in the world
She chose me
Most of my life
Been on my own
Whatever I did
I did it alone
And then she came along
Now I'm not alone
Since she chose me
Every night I thank the lucky stars above me
That someone as beautiful as she could really love me
And she really loves me
From time to time
I ask myself
Why was it I
And nobody else?
The most beautiful girl
That I'd ever seen
And she chose me
And she really loves me
From time to time
I ask myself
Why was it I
And nobody else?
The most beautiful girl
In all of the world
And she chose me
