Lyrics
I'm just being, being myself
I'm just being, being me
And I can't be nobody but me
I'm just being, being myself
Don't try to make me somebody else
Gotta be, gotta be myself
I get the feeling
You're holding on to memories you can't erase
Now don't try to use me
To replace the dreams that have left a trace
Now, what I'm saying
May not be what you really want me to say
And what you're hearing
May not be what you really want to hear
Look at me as a new beginning
I won't be a part of an old ending
No, no no no, not me
Hey, I'm just being, being myself
I'm just being, being me
And I can't be nobody but me
I'm just being, being myself
Don't try to make me somebody else
Gotta be, gotta be myself
Don't try to change me
To the end that your girl used to be (used to be)
Don't look for her in me
'Cause somebody else I'll never be
Now, what you're hearing
May not be what you really want to hear
And what I'm saying
May not be what you really want me to say
(You don't wanna hear it, but I've gotta say it)
But I refuse to camouflage myself
'Cause you need me to be somebody else
No, no no, not me
Said I'm just being, being myself
I'm just being, being me
And I can't be nobody but me
I'm just being, being myself
Don't try to make me somebody else
Gotta be, I gotta be myself
I'm just being, being myself
I'm just being...
