That's Not Me
You put me on a shelf
You think you've got me pegged
Like everybody else
Always messing with my head
Stop trying to make me change
Stop trying to make me fake
'Cause I really don't appreciate it!
Do you mind
If I'm just me?
So what if I do everything
A little bit imperfectly?
What do you care?
Would you be there
When you get it straight
That you can't make me
Anything you want me to be?
'Cause that's not me
(I'm an individual)
This world can get you down
It's always stumping
To pattern your whole life
They got you jumping
I used to say 'How high?"
But now I say goodbye
'Cause I think I've had enough
Do you mind
If I'm just me?
So what if I do everything
A little bit imperfectly?
What do you care?
Would you be there
When you get it straight
That you can't make me
Anything you want me to be?
'Cause that's not me
(I'm an individual)
That's not me
(I won't be your paper doll)
You've got me mistaken
For somebody else
I'm not your creation
A weaker imitation of myself
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you mind
If I'm just me?
So what if I do everything
A little bit imperfectly?
What do you care?
Would you be there
When you get it straight
That you can't make me
Anything you want me to be?
'Cause that's not me
(I'm an individual)
I say that's not me
(I won't be your paper doll)
Oh, do you mind, yeah, yeah
That's not
That's not
No, it's not
That's not me
You think you've got me pegged
Like everybody else
Always messing with my head
Stop trying to make me change
Stop trying to make me fake
'Cause I really don't appreciate it!
Do you mind
If I'm just me?
So what if I do everything
A little bit imperfectly?
What do you care?
Would you be there
When you get it straight
That you can't make me

'Cause that's not me

But now I say goodbye
'Cause I think I've had enough

So what if I do everything

Oh, do you mind, yeah, yeah
That's not
That's not
No, it's not
That's not me
