If I satisfy you, if you satisfy me
Once the course has been set
Gonna need all the help I can get but
You just gotta be you, n I just gotta be me
I cant classify you, you cant pacify me
We cant make it at all
You wont even take my calls
I just want ta be loved
n you just gotta be free
Ill smile and tell it to the world
You just gotta be
Pardon me for sayin
What a price youve been payin
What more can I say
You might feel different some day

If it matter to you, it still matters to me
Youll find me by the bayou
Thinkin wicked thoughts of you
I just want ta be strong, you just gotta be wrong
I cant clarify you, you cant verify me
I cant make it by stealth
You wont even share the wealth so
You just gotta be you
And I just gotta be me
And I will tell that to the world
You just gotta be

With a gratified mind, Ill be on the highway
Just as soon as I can
Where theres a will theres a way so until then
I just want ta be me, and you just gotta be
