I caught my reflection, and I've come to realize   I'm too hung up on how I look in other people's eyes   I can't pretend that the latest trends and the fads that come and go   Don't suck me in and turn me into someone I don't know      I just wanna be me   I just wanna be me   With all my imperfections and insecurities   I just wanna be me   I just wanna be me   Yeah, like it or not, I'm all I've got.   I just wanna be me.      Steroetypes, and media hype, and gossip magazines.   Who's fat, who's thin,   Who's out, Who's in,   and who's a Botox queen.   The pack of lies, they advertise keep runnin' through my head.   Until it hurts from news alerts, can't swallow what I'm fed.      I just wanna be me   I just wanna be me   Don't try to push my buttons.   I don't believe everything I read   I just wanna be me   I just wanna be me.   Yeah, like it or not, I'm all I got   I just wanna be me.      We may not see eye to eye, but let's keep an open mind   cause when you look for answers, it's the questions that you find   I reserve the right to admit that I was wrong   And wind up feeling stupid everytime I hear this song.      I just wanna be me   I just wanna be me   I'm not trying to make excuses ... or offer an apology.   I just wanna be me   I just wanna be me   Like it or not, I'm all I've got.   I just want to be me.
