Being me isn't easy
But I guess it isn't hard too
Maybe that's just what makes me me
And that's what makes you you
I wish I knew some way to be
To keep them smiling all the time
But they say that that isn't any way to be
So I guess I'll just quit trying
People seem to think I am what I ain't
I would change my ways if I could but I can't
So I guess I just have to keep on being me
Try to understand I'll do what I can
But I'll have no regrets if it isn't your plan
Cause I'm just gonna keep on being me
It's a funny old world full of ins and outs
When you're up it seems like you'll never fall down
When you're down it seems like you'll never get up
Doesn't matter how hard you try
It's a guessing game it's win or lose
Think you've got it beat but you just can't choose
The way it's gonna play at the end of the day
So just try to enjoy the ride
People seem to think I am what I ain't
I would change my ways if I could but I can't
So I guess I just have to keep on being me
Try to understand I'll do what I can
But I'll have no regrets if it isn't your plan
Cause I'm just gonna keep on being me
Ain't nobody perfect so I do what I can
Try to get by and understand
The way that it is and the way it used to be
Before I worry how it's gonna be next
Try not to make promises that I can't keep
But I really wouldn't go counting on me
Cause it may not work out the way that you want
But you couldn't say you weren't told
People seem to think I am what I ain't
I would change my ways if I could but I can't
So I guess I just have to keep on being me
Try to understand I'll do what I can
But I'll have no regrets if it isn't your plan
Cause I'm just gonna keep on being me
