(I'm) Just Being Myself - 2013 Remaster
I get the feeling
You're holding on to memories you can't erase
Now don't try to use me
To replace the dreams that have left a trace
Now what I'm saying
May not be what you really want me to say
And what you're hearing
May not be what you really want to hear
Look at me as a new beginning
I won't be a part of an old ending
No
No, no, no, not me, hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm just being, being, my-myself
I'm just being, being me
I can't be nobody but me
I'm just being, being myself
Don't try to make me somebody else
Just got to be yourself (gotta be, gotta be myself)
Don't try to change me
To the image of your use-to-be (use-to-be)
Don't look behind me
'Cause somebody else I'll never be
Now what you're hearing
May not be what you really want to hear
And what I'm saying
May not be what you really want me to say (you don't wanna hear it)
(But I've got to say it)
But I refuse to camouflage myself
'Cause you need me to be somebody else
No
No, no, not me, yeah
Said I'm just being, being myself
I'm just being, being me
I can't be nobody but me
I'm just being, being myself
You're holding on to memories you can't erase
Now don't try to use me
To replace the dreams that have left a trace
Now what I'm saying
May not be what you really want me to say
And what you're hearing
May not be what you really want to hear
Look at me as a new beginning
I won't be a part of an old ending
No
No, no, no, not me, hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm just being, being, my-myself
I'm just being, being me
I can't be nobody but me
I'm just being, being myself
Don't try to make me somebody else
Just got to be yourself (gotta be, gotta be myself)
Don't try to change me
To the image of your use-to-be (use-to-be)
Don't look behind me
'Cause somebody else I'll never be
Now what you're hearing
May not be what you really want to hear
And what I'm saying
May not be what you really want me to say (you don't wanna hear it)
(But I've got to say it)
But I refuse to camouflage myself
'Cause you need me to be somebody else
No
No, no, not me, yeah
Said I'm just being, being myself
I'm just being, being me
I can't be nobody but me
I'm just being, being myself
