Hey you, what's the matter?
Maybe you've been looking down
Is that someone in the mirror the
Reason you don't come around?
That's crazy
This isn't the "you" I know
Feeling un-pretty
Puttin' on a show
You don't wanna be a wannabe
So who you really gonna be?
Only you can be you
Only I can be me
You always wanna be what you're not
Can't you be happy with what you've got?
You're perfect the way you are
With your insecurities, flaws and scars
Life's too short to worry
Don't you know it's true
Only you can be you (you can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
Only you can be you (you can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
You think you ain't got swagger
Gotta be cooler than you are
I think whatever
Let 'em know that you're a star
Be crazy
Be who you wanna be
No maybe's
You're a celebrity
You don't wanna be a wannabe
Show them who you're gonna be
Only you can be you
Only I can be me
You always wanna be what you're not
Can't you be happy with what you've got?
You're perfect the way you are
With your insecurities, flaws and scars
Life's too short to worry
Don't you know it's true
Only you can be you (you can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
Only you can be you (you can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
If you love who you are, put your hands up
You feelin' good 'bout yourself?
Then stand up
You independent and you're strong
Phrow your hands up
You feelin' fabulous
Put your hands up
You could be you, I could be me
You a star if you ain't on tv
You tall, you short, you different, you cute
You light, you dark, you beautiful, you, you
Only you can be you.
Only I can be me.
You always wanna be what you're not.
Can't you be happy with what you've got?
You're perfect the way you are
With your insecurities, flaws and scars.
Life's too short to worry.
Don't you know it's true.
Only you can be you (you can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
Only you can be you (you can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
Only you can be you (you can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
Only you can be you (you can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
