The way i am

The way i am Lyrics

This may come as shocking news
I don't wanna 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 wanna hassle 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
wont 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 dont 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
