Charlie Puth
The Way I Am
(Verse 1)
Yeah, maybe Imma get a little anxious
Maybe Imma get a little shy
'Cause everybody's tryna be famous
And I'm just tryna find a place to hide
All I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
I don't even know how to explain this
I don't even think I'm gonna try

(Pre-Chorus)
And that's okay
I promise myself one day
(Hey!)

(Chorus)
Imma tell 'em all
Imma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
Imma tell 'em all
Imma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am

[Post-Chorus]
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
[Verse 2]
Maybe Imma get a little nervous
Maybe I don't go out anymore (oh)
Feelin' like I really don't deserve this (-serve this)
Life ain't nothing like it was before (it was nothing like before)
'Cause all I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
If you go and look under the surface (surface)
Baby, I'm a little insecure

[Pre-Chorus]
And that's okay
(Baby, now, that's okay)
I promise myself one day
(Hey!)

[Chorus]
Imma tell 'em all
Imma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
Imma tell 'em all
Imma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am

[Post-Chorus]
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
[Refrain]
Imma tell 'em all (that's just the way I am)
Imma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
(that's just the way I am, that's just the way I am)
But that's just the way I am

[Bridge]
Am, am
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted
I am, am, am
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted all along

[Breakdown]
Everybody's tryna be famous
And I'm just tryna find a place to hide

[Chorus]
Imma tell 'em all
Imma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
Imma tell 'em all
Imma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
[Post-Chorus]
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
(Maybe Imma get a little anxious, maybe I'ma get a little scared)
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
('Cause everybody's tryna be famous)

[Refrain]
Imma tell 'em all
(that's just the way I am)
Imma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
(that's just the way I am)
But that's just the way I am
