Well I am what I am what I am could be who you are
Is your pain when you smile cos you've built a wall around your heart
Do the thoughts in you in your head keep you up cos 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 loud music you play ain't gonna get you nowhere"
Ah you gotta be yourself
Ah you gotta be yourself
If you cried would you hide
Would 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 loud 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 loud music you play ain't gonna get you nowhere"
Ah you gonna be yourself
Ah you gonna be yourself
If you can't can't be yourself what are you living for
If you can't can't be yourself you gonna lose it all
If you can't can'r be yourself what are you living for
You're gotta find someday you gonna 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 loud music you play ain't gonna get you nowhere"
Ah you gotta be yourself
Ah you gotta be yourself
Ah you gotta be yourself
Ah you gotta be yourself
