Sara Bareilles
I Wanna Be Like Me
[Hook]
Ooh-oh!
Ooh-oh!
[Verse 1]
What if I wanna be the one who
Never looks like anybody?
What if I wanna be the one who
Goes her own way?
Would you still believe in someone like me?
What if I wanna be the one who
Doesn't belong here?
What if I wanna be the one who
Won't fit in?
Would you find a new way to make room for me?
[Chorus]
What if I don't wanna be like you?
Not to make you cry
What if I don't wanna be like you?
Just because I was made to be exactly like mе
What if I don't wanna be like you?
Not to tear you down
What if I don't wanna bе like you?
Because I found I was made to be exactly like me
I wanna be like me
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-oh!
Ooh-oh!
[Verse 2]
What if I wanna be the one who
Doesn't need to hide?
What if I wanna be the one who
Won't apologize?
I'm not the enemy (Ooh)
Unless you want the truth to see (Ooh)
What if I wanna be the one who
You never understand?
What if I wanna be the one who
Do you ever think you'd ever want to
Still try to hold my hand?
To get through to you
I'm still trying to
[Chorus]
What if I don't wanna be like you?
Not to make you cry
What if I don't wanna be like you?
Just because I was made to be exactly like me
What if I don't wanna be like you?
Not to tear you down
What if I don't wanna be like you?
Because I found I was made to be exactly like me
I wanna be like me
[Hook]
Hey! Ooh
Hey! Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Outro]
What if I don't wanna be like you?
What if I don't wanna be like you?
What if I don't wanna be-e-e-e like you?
I was made to be exactly like me
What if I don't wanna be like you?
Not to tear you down
What if I don't wanna be like you?
Because I found I was made to be exactly like me
I wanna be like me!
