The Way I Am

This may come as shocking news

I don't wanna be like you

I'm not afraid of standing out

Don't belong in a crowd

I don't act like I'm all that

Don't think I'm better than you are

Still you wanna hassle me

Just 'cause I'm following my heart

I've tried to fit into what

Other people think that I should be

But now I found the only way

To make me truly happy

So many ways to go, I choose to use my own

And you don't have to understand

Because it's up to me and up to me alone

And you can't change the way I am

Just a girl showing off is what you see

I just do what's right for me

Wont imitate anyone else

You be them, I'll be myself

Don't get me wrong 'cause I have respect

How other people choose

How to live their lives but I

Deserve that respect too, oh

So many ways to go, I choose to use my own

And you don't have to understand

Because it's up to me and up to me alone

And you can't change the way I am

So many ways to go, I choose to use my own

And you don't have to understand

Because it's up to me and up to me alone

And you can't change the way I am

Oh oh, oh oh

Just a girl is what you say

Showing off but you just wait

You ain't seen yet just what

I have got, no, no, no

Just a girl is what you heard

Showing off [Incomprehensible]

You ain't seen yet just what I have got

(What I have got)

So many ways to go, I choose to use my own

And you don't have to understand

Because it's up to me and up to me alone

And you can't change the way I am

So many ways to go, I choose to use my own

And you don't have to understand

Because it's up to me and up to me alone

And you can't change the way I am

Oh and you can't change the way I am

Oh and you can't change the way I am
