Lyrics

I Just Wanna Be Me
Words and Music by Darren Holden and Bryan Steele

This ain?t one of my prettier days
Can?t seem to find my way outta this haze
Mom says this is just a passing phase
Can?t fit into the mould that they want me to

Blue jeans, holes and a touch of dirt
Bandana and my dad?s old Journey shirt
Mom says she?s tired of me being curt
You?ll never find a boy who?ll want you like this

Oh no, here we go again
Is this ever gonna end?

I?m never gonna be like that
That?s not where this girl?s at
You can try your best to rearrange me
Listen up, hey, you?ll never change me
All the silly magazines just bore me
I don?t care if the boys ignore me
This is my life and my story
I just wanna be me

I like hangin? with the skater dudes
They got some real cool attitudes
Mom says I?m just being rude
You?re never gonna get anywhere being like this

Just once I wish that she could only see
What is going on inside of me
I?ve got to be the way I?m gonna be
Or else I?m never gonna be happy like this

Oh no, here we go again
Is this ever gonna end?

I?m never gonna be like that
That?s not where this girl?s at
You can try your best to rearrange me
Listen up, hey, you?ll never change me
All the silly magazines just bore me
I don?t care if the boys ignore me
This is my life and my story
I just wanna be me
