Story Behind The Song

This song comes from feelings in life and the entertainment business. First impressions aren't necessarily all there should be. Sometimes people can really surprise you in a good way.

Song Description

A girl is begging people to disregard their first impressions, and she says that if you give her a chance, you might just be shocked and amazed at what she can do.

Lyrics

Take a good look now. I know you somehow
Think I'm only what you see.
I won't be patient with those limitations.
They never will define me.
You think I'm shy now, nothing to hide now,
That I have no story.
Maybe this will phase you, or even amaze you,
But there's a bit more to me.

I won't be criticized by how I appear inside your mind.
With this, I will not sympathize.
You're making a mistake.

I'm not who you're thinking I am.
Take a minute, dig inside, and
Find some kind of way to make
You do a double-take at me.
Go throw out your first impressions.
They'll lead you in the wrong directions,
And for both yours and my sake,
Do a double-take at me.

You can't be sure of what you will see here
In the wake of my changing ways.
I can be fine and comfortably kind,
Then be stuck in a raucous phase.

You can't abide by summaries of who I am or who I'll be.
You'd best leave that part up to me,
Or you'll make a mistake.

I'm not who you're thinking I am.
Take a minute, dig inside, and
Find some kind of way to make
You do a double-take at me.
Go throw out your first impressions.
They'll lead you in the wrong directions,
And for both yours and my sake,
Do a double-take at me.

If you dare to guess who I am inside,
Prepare now for the shock of your life.
I cause jaw-dropping, eye popping stares, so beware.

I'm not who you're thinking I am.
Take a minute, dig inside, and
Find some kind of way to make
You do a double-take at me.
Go throw out your first impressions.
They'll lead you in the wrong directions,
And for both yours and my sake,
Do a double-take at me.
