I'M Going To Be Me
I hate being what you want me to be
I want to do things my way
In the simplest terms, I want to be me
I'm not a model or famous star
I'll never be either of those by far
I'm happy being what I am
The dorky girl who loves to jam
You can't make me change
I know people think I'm weird, maybe even strange
Why do what people expect?
Then your own identity you've worked to build is wrecked
It's pointless trying to be something you're not
Because sooner or later you always get caught
I'll always remain true to myself
And put that old disguise back on it's shelf
I'll never be what you want me to be
Who I am is my choice
And I'm going to be me!
