Simply Me

Intro:
I know that I am wise beyond my years
Your hatred is actually how I persevered

Verse 1:
I am beautiful just the way I am
I don’t need anyone to tell me what I’m supposed to be like
I do not care, I do not give a damn
I won’t change myself to fit a stereotype
Perfection is something that can’t be reached
So stop pretending it’s something everyone should be
Just think if you and everyone else practiced what you preach
I’d be the role model and you’d be so lonely
You’re not below me and you’re certainly not above
You’re not equal either because to me you’re no one

Chorus:
The only reason you could ever hate me is because of jealousy
You can try to copy me but I am the one and only
I am me and I can be me perfectly
I am simply me

Verse 2:
This song is for all the people that stopped believing
I know you never thought I could get far
This song is for all the people that love hating me
But I still love you and accept you for what you are
It’s things like that that make me the better person
I might cry but I’ll push through and never quit
You never judge people on things that happen to them
But on who they’ve become because of it
I would only hope that you would do the same
But the fact that you don’t makes you a pitiful shame

Chorus:
The only reason you could ever hate me is because of jealousy
You can try to copy me but I am the one and only
I am me and I can be me perfectly
I am simply me

Verse 3:
Nothing has said it better than “Please Don’t Leave Me”
I can be mean when I wanna, I’m capable of anything
Tell me something about myself, I’ll be the first to admit it
Harvey MacKay’s quote about time, I hope you all never forget it
When I’m a bitch, then I’m a bitch
But I can be anyone’s best friend
When I’m happy, I’m a joy
When I’m pissed, you’ll never hear the end

Chorus:
The only reason you could ever hate me is because of jealousy
You can try to copy me but I am the one and only
I am me and I can be me perfectly
I am simply me

Verse 4:
Not trying to be narcissistic
I’m just expressing how I feel
Your point of view is atavistic
And now it’s time to get real
No else can be like me
Not even parallel
Do something just to spite me
I can put you through hell

Chorus:
The only reason you could ever hate me is because of jealousy
You can try to copy me but I am the one and only
I am me and I can be me perfectly
I am simply me

Chorus:
The only reason you could ever hate me is because of jealousy
You can try to copy me but I am the one and only
I am me and I can be me perfectly
I am simply me
