This may come as shocking news
I don't want to 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
Then you are
Still you want to ha**le me
Just cause
I'm following my heart
I've tried to fit in 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 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
Won't imitate anyone else
You be them, I'll be myself
Don't get 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 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 but you so wrong
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 alone
And you can't change
The way I am
You can't change the way I am
Oh no
You can't change the way I am
