How do I even begin? You're all up under my skin Before I speak, I hear you instead Do you think you could leave A little air I could breathe Can't get your voice out of my head Is there nothing that you don't know everything about All this I told you so is something I could live without You tell me how to think and you tell me how to live You tell me how to take, and tell me how to give I guess you wrote that book on what a girl's supposed to be But you don't know what it like to be me To be me, to be me What it's like to be me Yeah So have you ever been wrong Can you remember that long Or should I rephrase that question Can you look at yourself Like you do with everyone else Can I make one suggestion? Just for once in your life could you listen to someone else I know you might get confused hearing someone beside your self You tell me how to think and you tell me how to live
You tell me how to take, and tell me how to give I guess you wrote that book on what a girl's supposed to be But you don't know what it like to be me To be me, to be me What it's like to be me Yeah I think it's time to the position Do I have to scream out or sign a petition To get you to listen yeah You tell me how to think and you tell me how to live You tell me how to take, and tell me how to give I guess you wrote that book on what a girl's supposed to be But you don't know what it like to be me To be me, to be me What it's like to be me You don't know what it's like to be me You tell me how to think and you tell me how to live You tell me how to take, and tell me how to give I guess you wrote that book on what a girl's supposed to be But you don't know what it like to be me To be me, to be me What it's like to be me yeah To be me
