It's hard to be myself and myself doesn't fit in
It's like I have to wear a mask in front of them
But secretly my heart tugs at me, telling me

Don't you dare turn into one of them
You know that that's not you
Do you really wanna be like them?
(Do you really wanna be like them?)
Go ahead and be yourself
If they don't like, you should be someone else
Well yeah, so go ahead and be you

MM mm, be you (yeah)

I take a backwards step
Thinking about what I'm gonna do
My heart may be wrong
But then again, I think that it may be right

Don't you dare turn into one of them
You know that that's not you
Do you really wanna be like them?
(Do you really wanna be like them?)
Go ahead and be yourself
If they don't like, you should be someone else
Well yeah, so go ahead

What do I do? Will I turn into you?
I should listen to my heart
'Cause it has a lot to say
In my skin is what I'm gonna be in
I'm better of bein' myself
So here's a few words for you

Woah, don't you dare turn into one of them
You know that that's not you (know that that's not you)
Do you really wanna be like them?
Go ahead and be yourself
If they don't like, you should be someone else
Well yeah, go ahead and be you

Yeah, be yourself
If they don't like, you should be someone else
Well yeah, so go ahead and be you
MM, mm, mm, mm, mm
Be you, be you, I think I'm gonna be me
