Just Be Yourself (from the short film “Doug”)

It's time to wake up fresh and face the music
Nobody likes you, quite the case of Mar-Mar blues
Except for me, I will never leave your side
And so I have a plan to which we will abide

We'll take the stage and then we'll win the talent show
After helping Kevin pass his math class so
You can know it's okay to be more than what meets the eye
Wish I could relate the intangibles to you
Of falling in love with your friends and all they can do

There's nothing wrong with being
Unapologetically you, so

Just be yourself; that's the only person I wanna be
Just be yourself; there's no one else I'd rather be than me
Just be yourself; doesn't take too much to see
That when you be yourself there's nothing else that you have to be

I just am oh what's it to you
I don't give a fuck, why do you

I know a cool one when I see one
Won't let your preconceptions consume you
Whatever you're owed from the world
Isn't worth the pain you've put us through

But friends help friends when they need it
You shouldn't have to ask
So don't let that character of yours turn into a mask, and

Just be yourself; that's the only person that you should be
Just be yourself; no one wants to see you blossom more than me
Just be yourself; doesn't take two of us to see
That when you be yourself there's nothing else that you have to be

It's easier said than done but trust me when I say
There's no one else I'd rather be saying this to
No one else I'd rather be than me, watching you be you
Just be yourself and you'll finally be cool

Just be yourself and you'll finally be cool
