| [00:07.882] |
Please don't mistake me or try to make me |
| [00:11.460] |
The shadow of anybody else |
| [00:15.116] |
I ain't the him or her you think I am |
| [00:18.727] |
I'm just trying hard to be myself |
| [00:22.383] |
Oh, society's goal is to be part of the whole |
| [00:25.848] |
That may sound good to you, not to me |
| [00:30.795] |
|
| [00:31.577] |
Let me be, let me be |
| [00:33.564] |
To think like I want to |
| [00:35.203] |
Let me be, let me be |
| [00:37.071] |
That's all I ask of you |
| [00:39.166] |
I am what I am |
| [00:40.515] |
And that's all I ever can be |
| [00:44.880] |
|
| [00:50.153] |
Don't try to plan me or understand me |
| [00:54.037] |
I can't stand to be understood |
| [00:57.413] |
I could never give in to or ever live up to |
| [01:01.151] |
Being like you think I should |
| [01:04.424] |
I've got some inner need which |
| [01:06.653] |
I'm tryin' to heed |
| [01:08.080] |
I can't take hand-me-down destiny |
| [01:13.508] |
|
| [01:13.824] |
Let me be, let me be, |
| [01:15.762] |
To think like I want to |
| [01:17.554] |
Let me be, let me be |
| [01:19.387] |
That's all I ask of you |
| [01:21.373] |
I am what I am |
| [01:22.579] |
And that's all I ever can be |
| [01:27.202] |
|
| [01:32.438] |
Don't try to change me or rearrange me |
| [01:35.875] |
To satisfy the selfishness of you |
| [01:39.697] |
I'm not a piece of clay to mold to your moves each day |
| [01:43.504] |
And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move |
| [01:46.989] |
I'm sorry |
| [01:47.639] |
I'm not the fool you thought would play by your rules |
| [01:50.585] |
But to-each-his-own philosophy |
| [01:55.837] |
|
| [01:56.235] |
Let me be, let me be, |
| [01:58.236] |
To think like I want to |
| [01:59.823] |
Let me be, let me be |
| [02:01.796] |
That's all I ask of you |
| [02:03.639] |
I am what I am |
| [02:05.169] |
And that's all I ever can be |
| [02:09.122] |
I said that's all I ever can be |
| [02:12.295] |
I said that's all I ever can be |
| [02:16.076] |
I said that's all I ever can be |
