Lyrics

Girl, you'd be adorable if you would cut your hair
Girl, you would fit in if you would change the clothes you wear
Girl, you'd have more friends if you'd pretend you're having fun
Girl, you'd have a boy if you'd learn to bite your tongue
You only read the cover
Never knew me through and through
If you did, then you'd discover there's more to me than you
?So won't you let me be
Let me be me
I said, let me be
Let me be me
Cuz you only see what you wanna see
So just let me be
Let me be me
?Baby, you'd be prettier if you would only smile
Baby, you'd be tighter if you'd run another mile
Baby, you'd be happier if you would take this pill
You'da had a ring by now if you would learn to chill
You think you know me inside out but you ain't got a clue
If you did then you would know there's more to me than you
?Let me be
Let me be me
I said, let me be
Let me be me
Cuz you only see what you wanna see
So just let me be
Let me be me
?Your black and white world could never capture me
Cuz I got so many colors that you'll never see
Now I gotta break, gotta break free
?Let me be
Let me be me
I said, let me be
Let me be me
Cuz you only see
So just let me be
Let me be me
Don't care what you think
Don't care what you do
It ain't no dirty secret
There's more to me than you
