(Dolly Parton)       If you hear me crying in the night   Pretend that you don't hear me it's alright   Don't ask me why I'm crying, please don't make a sound   I don't know why, it's just the way I am.      And if you think I act a little strange   And you don't understand when I do things   Like running through the fields while the rain is pouring down   I don't know why, it's just the way I am.      And even though you may not understand me   I hope that you'll accept me like I am   For there are many sides of me, my mind and spirit must be free   And I might smile when other folks would frown   I don't know why, it's just the way I am.      I might go out chasing butterflies   And if I fail to catch one I might cry   And if you want me you might find me in the meadow walking 'round   I don't know why, it's just the way I am.      I might be home and busy cleaning house   And in the middle of my work I might go out   And go play games with children at the playground   It makes me happy, and that's just the way I am.      And even though you may not understand me   I hope that you'll accept me like I am   For there are childish sides of me   My mind and spirit must be free   I might smile when you think I should frown   I don't know why, it's just the way I am...
