Be Yourself

What I am, what I am, what I am could be who you are

Is your pain when you smile 'cause you built a wall around your heart?

Do the thoughts in your head keep you up 'cause 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 music you play

Ain't gonna get you nowhere

Na-na, you gotta be yourself

Na-na, you gotta be yourself

If you cry, would you hide what you want all the world to know?

And if you believed 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 music 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 music you play

Ain't gonna get you nowhere

Na-na, you gotta be yourself

Na-na, you gotta be yourself

If you can't, can't be yourself

What are you living for?

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 find someday you gotta run away

You gotta run, run, run, run away

Papa used to say you're just a loser

And you're never gonna have what it takes

Mama used to say all that music you play

Ain't gonna get you nowhere

Na-na, you gotta be yourself

Na-na, you gotta be yourself

Na-na, you gotta be yourself

Na-na, you gotta be yourself
