Why
Oh why, why?
Oh-oh-oh
Baby, baby
How many days have I told myself get up again
And go on with the struggle
Tryna be someone else, why should I pretend
That I like the mood I'm in
Day to day, the roles we play
Walkin' 'round wit' frowns on our face
When we wanna be happy
Never being true to self
Once you're gone, there's nothing left
But I'll breathe, wanting to be free
Why, why can't they just let me be (oh, why can't they leave me)
And why, why can't I just be free
Without them telling me where to go, what to say, who to see
And why, why can't they just let me be (can I)
Be me, hmm-mm
How many ways have I tried to be like someone else
But couldn't get the profile
Dancing the dance, knowing that I'm happy all the while
But I didn't believe
Day to day, the roles we play
Walkin' 'round wit' frowns on our face (our face)
When we wanna be happy
Never being true to self (never)
Once you're gone, there's no one left (no one)
But I'll breathe, wanting to be free
Be free (whoa)
Why, why can't they just let me be (why, why, why) (let me be)
And why, why can't I just be free (be free)
Without them telling me where to go (telling me), what to say, who to see
And why, why can't they just let me be (can I be me)
Why, why can't they just let me be (see, they wanna try and make me change my ways)
And why, why can't I just be free (and they can't) (I just wanna be free)
Without them telling me where to go (without them telling me, whoa), what to say, who to see
And why, why can't they just let me be
Sometimes, I wanna cry (why, why, why?)
'Cause they won't just let me be (why, why?)
Say oh, say oh no, no, no, no, no, no (why?)
Said I need to be free, yeah, yea, yeah (oh, why?)
Sometimes, I wanna die (be me)
Oh, yeah
Be me, be me
Oh, why?
Why?
Oh-oh-oh
Baby, baby
How many days have I told myself get up again
And go on with the struggle
Tryna be someone else, why should I pretend
That I like the mood I'm in
Day to day, the roles we play
Walkin' 'round wit' frowns on our face
When we wanna be happy
Never being true to self
Once you're gone, there's nothing left
But I'll breathe, wanting to be free
Why, why can't they just let me be (oh, why can't they leave me)
And why, why can't I just be free
Without them telling me where to go, what to say, who to see
And why, why can't they just let me be (can I)
Be me, hmm-mm
How many ways have I tried to be like someone else
But couldn't get the profile
Dancing the dance, knowing that I'm happy all the while
But I didn't believe
Day to day, the roles we play
Walkin' 'round wit' frowns on our face (our face)
When we wanna be happy
Never being true to self (never)
Once you're gone, there's no one left (no one)
But I'll breathe, wanting to be free
Be free (whoa)
Why, why can't they just let me be (why, why, why) (let me be)
And why, why can't I just be free (be free)
Without them telling me where to go (telling me), what to say, who to see
And why, why can't they just let me be (can I be me)
Why, why can't they just let me be (see, they wanna try and make me change my ways)
And why, why can't I just be free (and they can't) (I just wanna be free)
Without them telling me where to go (without them telling me, whoa), what to say, who to see

'Cause they won't just let me be (why, why?)
Say oh, say oh no, no, no, no, no, no (why?)
Said I need to be free, yeah, yea, yeah (oh, why?)
Sometimes, I wanna die (be me)
Oh, yeah
Be me, be me
Oh, why?
Why?
