Well I am what I am could be what you are.


Is your pain when you smile cos you feel alone?


And are you strong enough to be yourself??


Papa used to say "You·re just a loser


and you·re never gonna have what it takes"


Mama used to say "All that loud musice you play ain·t gonna get you nowhere"


Ah you gottta be yourself.


Ah you gotta be yourself.


If you cried, would you hide


Would you want all the world to know


And if you believe in love


Would you let it show


Are you in, are you hip, are you cool


Do you try too hard


Or are you strong enough to be yourself


Papa used to say "You·re just a loser


and you·re never gonna have what it takes"


Mama used to say "All that loud musice you play ain·t gonna get you nowhere"


Papa used to say "You·re just a loser and you·re never gonna have what it takes"


Mama used to say "All that loud musice you play ain·t gonna get you nowhere"


Ah you gottta be yourself.


Ah you gotta be yourself.


If you can·t, can·t be yourself you·re gonna lose it all.


If you can·t,can·t be yourself what are you living for?


You·re gonna fïnd someday you gotta run away.


You gotta run,run,run away.
