From the recording Junior
Lyrics
Well I’m sorry that I’m not what they wanted.
I’m sorry but it’s all I can be.
I could put on a show, with stripes and a bow.
But baby, it’ll still be me.
I’m, free of all their judgment, I’m free of apathy.
Free of all their politics, so I’m just gonna be me.
Yeah I’m just gonna be me, I’m just gonna be me.
No I’m not gonna be like anyone else, I’m just gonna be me.
Yeah I’m just gonna be me, I’m just gonna be me.
Honey you can be who you wanna be but, I’m just gonna be me.
They gonna say I’m not a winner.
They gonna say that I don’t fit in.
But I’d rather be a loser.
Then pretend that I care again.
But I try, and I try, Lord I try and I try.
But I just can’t please them all.
But it’s a, who I am, so I don’t, give a damn at all.
No not at all!
I’m just gonna be me, I’m just gonna be me.
No I’m not gonna be like anyone else, I’m just gonna be me.
Yeah I’m just gonna be me, I’m just gonna be me.
Honey you can be who you wanna be but, I’m just gonna be me.
<watch out! I said>
<I don’t give a damn what they think of it>
Yeah I’m just gonna be me, I’m just gonna be me.
No I’m not gonna be like anyone else, I’m just gonna be me.
I’m just gonna be me, yeah I’m just gonna be me.
Honey you can be who you wanna be but, I’m just gonna be me.
I said you can be who you wanna be yeah.
You can be who you, wanna be yeah.
You can be who you, wanna be yeah.
You can be who you want, to, be.
But I’m just gonna be me.
