Lyrics

You'll never be happy being somebody else
No matter how hard you try
Walking around in another cat's clothes
Is only gonna make you cry
You gotta be you
Just gotta be you
Yeah, you gotta be you, you, you
Just gotta be you
I won't rock a tuxedo like a penguin can
As a bird you will never fly
I gotta rock this whole world like only Pete the cat can
You can't do better and I'm tellin' you why
You gotta be you
Just gotta be you
Yeah, you gotta be you, you, you
Just gotta be you
No one else will do
I wanna be sure that you're catching my wave
So let me tell you where it's at, bro
You gotta make sure you're singing your own song
It's the only tune you gotta know
You gotta be you
Just gotta be you
Yeah, you gotta be you, you, you
You, you, you
You gotta be you, you, you
Nobody else
You got it!
Just gotta be you
And just like a reflection in the river
I see myself in the mirror
And I like what I see, it's really me
I'm proud to be a portrait of myself
