take me like you find me

don't try to change me

you know better than that

take me as you see me

don't try to hide me

I ain't used to that

shout it out loud

put a bomb in a crowd

if I got something to say

there's nothing that can stop me

I can't let it lay



if I have to fall on my head

every night of the week

it's gonna be my fault and no one else

if everything goes wrong

when I'm singing my song

it's gonna be my fault and no one else



there ain't nothing you can do about it

I've sat and thought it over

don't try to help me

I was just born this way



yes I was born this way

I ain't gonna change for nobody

ooh, never, never gonna change



so if everything goes wrong

and I drink all night

it's gonna be my fault and no one else

people don't change just over night

it ain't natural

so don't break it kindly, don't hypnotize me

I just won't understand

take me like you find me

don't try to change me

you know better than that



oh don't you know better than that

oh don't you know better than that



say I'm just a fool, that's alright

never try to change me or rearrange me, oh yeah
