Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, life has come a long way since yesterday, I say
And it's not the same old thing over again, I say
Just do what you feel and don't you fool yourself, I say
'Cause I can't make you happy unless I am, I say, I say, I
[Verse 2]
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
[Verse 3]
Day in, day out, I've asked many questions, I say
Only to find the truth it never changes, I say
If you don't deal with it, it keeps killing you a little by little, I say
Call me selfish if you will, my life I alone can live, I say, I say, I
[Verse 4]
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
In a way, now
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
[Verse 5]

[Verse 6]
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
In a way, all
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
Come on everybody
Got to be true
Got to be true
Got to be true to myself
In a way, all
Got to be true
Got to be true
Got to be true to myself
