says its all been done before but i?m not gonna listen no not anymore
might have picked a flower or two but they?re all a little different
says he knows my influences
but i bet he didn?t know about chuck and tom and kermit and maud
says its much to obvious but i?m not gonna listen no
how many seasons come and go
and how many men have you met that were named joe
and how many sunsets have you gazed upon
and they?re all a little different


says its all been done before but i?m not gonna listen
no that?s just a poor excuse for mediocrity
and i don?t think that?s what i would strive to be no
how many stars are in the sky
and how many people have passed you by
and how many visions have you witnessed
yeah its that old snowflake metaphor


i am what i am i was what i was i?ll be what i?ll be that?s my philosophy
i am what i am i was what i was i?ll be what i?ll be that?s my philosophy


says its all been done before but i?m not gonna listen no this is my own ?war?
i?m a girl with thoughts its obvious i?m white but that doesn?t mean i?m gonna fit her stereotype no
how many stars are in the sky
and how many people have passed you by
and how many visions have you witnessed
how many seasons come and go
and how many men have you met that were named joe
and how many sunsets have you gazed upon
yeah its that old snowflake metaphor


i am what i am i was what i was i?ll be what i?ll be that?s my philosophy
i am what i am i was what i was i?ll be what i?ll be that?s my philosophy
i am what i am i was what i was ?
yeah its that old snowflake metaphor
