[00:14.34]To fulfil the need to be who I am in this world
[00:21.57]Is all I ask
[00:28.00]I can't pretend to be
[00:31.32]Some thing that I'm not
[00:33.67]And I won't wear a mask
[00:41.78]Ooh you touch my face
[00:43.98]With love in your eyes
[00:48.62]But will you touch my heart
[00:52.93]With the understanding
[00:54.67]That it takes to realise
[00:57.92]I just can't play a part
[01:04.39]Oh a fantasy true to myself
[01:11.95]And make no mistakes
[01:18.82]I don't want to need to hold someone else
[01:25.35]No matter what it takes
[01:33.47]So if you're sure it's love
[01:37.91]Just be sure it's love
[01:42.81]For this thing called me
[01:47.94]Cause I am what I am
[01:51.63]And I have the need to be

[02:12.65]Could be the master of my fate
[02:18.38]But it's up to me to choose my roads in life
[02:23.83]Though rocky they may well be the ones I takes
[02:30.55]Oh the ones I take
[02:35.96]There's a need to be something more
[02:42.20]Than just a reflection of a man
[02:48.09]I can't survive in someones shadow
[02:54.31]I need my very own little spot to stand
[03:00.21]Hey if you're sure it's love
[03:05.19]Just be sure it's love
[03:09.44]For me and only me
[03:14.66]Cos I am what I am
[03:18.71]And I have the need to be
[03:25.33]Oh just be sure it's love
[03:31.92]Be real sure it's love
[03:35.48]For me for little old me
[03:41.86]Cos I am what I am
[03:45.94]I am what I am
[03:49.18]And I have the need to be
