Lyrics
I Want To Be Myself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some people care about religion
Making money or fancy livin’
I just want to live my life loving you
Is that such a bad thing for me to do
I want to be myself
I’m gonna love you
I want to be myself
Nobody else
I don’t need you to tell me how great I am
To make me want you as my friend
I just want the truth and a smile on your face
Feeling the beat of your heart in your warm embrace
I want to be myself
Yes I would love you
I want to be myself
Nobody else
I’m gonna love you, like there’s no tomorrow
I’m gonna hold you, like it’s our last today
Baby this kind of love is once in a lifetime
I can’t believe this thing ain’t a dream made up in my mind
I want to be myself – oh yeah
Baby that’s how I love you
I want to be myself
Nobody else
I just want to live my life loving you
