Well I am what I am,what I am could be who you are.
Is your pain when you smile cos you've built a wall around your heart?
Do the thoughts in you in your head keep you up cos you feel alone?
And are you strong enough to be yourself?
Papa used to say "You're just a loser and you're never gonna have what it takes".
Mama used to say "All that loud music you play ain't gonna get you nowhere".
Ah you gotta be yourself.
Ah you gotta be yourself.
If you cried ,would you hide?
Would you want all the world to know?
And if you believed in love would you let it show?
Are you in?Are you hip?Are you cool?
Do you try too hard?
Or are you strong enough to be yourself?

Ah you gonna be yourself.
Ah you gonna be yourself.

If you can't,can't be yourself what are you living for?
If you can't,can't be yourself you gonna lose it all.
If you can't,can'r be yourself what are you living for?
You're gotta find someday you gonna run away.

You gotta run,run,run,run away.
