Lyrics
You could waste your life away
Tryin' to learn the games they play
I found out those games are for fools
Bring you down with all their rules
I thought there must be some mistake
I'm not that phoney, I'm not that fake
My heart cried out
Inside I would shout
Stop tryna be someone else
Much better to be yourself
You don't need nobody else
Much better to be yourself
You won't find it on the silver screen
Or in the pages of a magazine
Don't need anybody tellin' you
What to wear, what to say, what to think, what to do
Don't play to the crowd
Be loud, be proud
Stop tryna be someone else
Much better to be yourself
You don't need nobody else
Much better to be yourself
I looked in the mirror and what did I see
I saw a stranger looking back at me
Just be true to who you are
Show the world your shining star
Stop tryna be someone else
Much better to be yourself
You don't need nobody else
Much better to be yourself
