I caught my reflection, and I've come to realize I'm too hung up on how I look in other people's eyes I can't pretend that the latest trends and the fads that come and go Don't s** me in and turn me into someone I don't know I just wanna be me I just wanna be me With all my imperfections and insecurities I just wanna be me I just wanna be me Yeah, like it or not, I'm all I've got I just wanna be me Steroetypes, and media hype, and gossip magazines Who's fat, who's thin Who's out, Who's in And who's a Botox queen The pack of lies, they advertise keep runnin' through my head Until it hurts from news alerts, can't swallow what I'm fed I just wanna be me I just wanna be me Don't try to push my bu*tons I don't believe everything I read I just wanna be me I just wanna be me Yeah, like it or not, I'm all I got I just wanna be me We may not see eye to eye, but let's keep an open mind Cause when you look for answers, it's the questions that you find I reserve the right to admit that I was wrong And wind up feeling stupid everytime I hear this song I just wanna be me I just wanna be me I'm not trying to make excuses ... or offer an apology I just wanna be me I just wanna be me Like it or not, I'm all I've got I just want to be me
