You be you and do whatever you want to
You be you but let me be me
Run your life and live however you want to
Run your life and leave mine to me
You can pull no rabbits out of nobody's hat
Trying to change my habits will take a lot more magic than that
So let me be, and be yourself if you want me
You be you but let me be me
Or baby, there won't be no you and me
You can't rule no nation, or tell folks what to do
I ain't no congregation, nobody likes your preaching but you
So take it slow and calm yourself if you want me
You be you but let me be me
Or baby, there won't be no you and me
