If I satisfy you, if you satisfy me

Once the course has been set

Gonna need all the help I can get but

You just gotta be you, 'n I just gotta be me

I can't classify you, you can't pacify me

We can't make it at all

You won't even take my calls

I just want ta be loved

'N you just gotta be free

I'll smile and tell it to the world

You just gotta be



Pardon me for sayin'

What a price you've been payin'

What more can I say

You might feel different some day



If it matter to you, it still matters to me

You'll find me by the bayou

Thinkin' wicked thoughts of you

I just want ta be strong, you just gotta be wrong

I can't clarify you, you can't verify me

I can't make it by stealth

You won't even share the wealth so

You just gotta be you

And I just gotta be me

And I will tell that to the world

You just gotta be



With a gratified mind, I'll be on the highway

Just as soon as I can

Where there's a will there's a way so until then

I just want ta be me, and you just gotta be
