Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Lookin' at the devil, grinnin' at his gun

Fingers start shakin', I begin to run

Bullets start chasin', I begin to stop

We begin to wrestle, I was on the top

[Chorus]

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

Thank you for lettin' me be myself again

[Verse 2]

Stiff all in the collar, fluffy in the face

Chit-chat chatter tryin', stuffy in the place

Thank you for the party, but I could never stay

Many things on my mind, words in the way

[Chorus]

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

Thank you for lettin' me be myself again

[Instrumental]

Dance to the music all night long

Everyday people sing a simple song

Mama's so happy, mama start to cry

Papa still singin', you can make it if you try

[Chorus]

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again (Different strokes for different folks, yeah)

Thank you for lettin' me be myself again

[Verse 3]

Flamin' eyes of people fear burnin' into you

Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do

Youth and truth are makin' love, dig it for a starter

Now, dyin' young is hard to take, sellin' out is harder

[Chorus]

Thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

Thank you for lettin' me be myself again

Thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

Thank you for lettin' me be myself again

Thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again

I want to thank you for lettin' me be myself again
