i m just being myself

Dionne Warwick

I m just being, being myself
I m just being, being me
And I can t be nobody but me
I m just being, being myself
Don t try to make me somebody else
Gotta be, gotta be myself

I get the feeling
You re holding on to memories you can t erase
Now don t try to use me
To replace the dreams that have left a trace
Now, what I m saying
May not be what you really want me to say
And what you re hearing
May not be what you really want to hear

Look at me as a new beginning
I won t be a part of an old ending
No, no no no, not me

Hey, I m just being, being myself
I m just being, being me
And I can t be nobody but me
I m just being, being myself
Don t try to make me somebody else
Gotta be, gotta be myself

Don t try to change me
To the image of your used to be (used to be)
Don t look for her in me
Cause somebody else I ll never be
Now, what you re hearing
May not be what you really want to hear
And what I m saying
May not be what you really want me to say
(You don t wanna hear it, but I ve gotta say it)

But I refuse to camouflage myself
Cause you need me to be somebody else
No, no no, not me

Said I m just being, being myself
I m just being, being me
And I can t be nobody but me
I m just being, being myself
Don t try to make me somebody else
Gotta be, I gotta be myself
I m just being, being myself
I m just being
