The Way I Am

Amanda

This may come as shocking news
I don't wanna be like you
I'm not afraid of standing out
Don't belong in a crowd

I don't act like I'm all that
Don't think I'm better than you are 
Still you wanna hassle me
Just cause I'm following my heart
I've tried to fit into what other people think that I should be
But now I found the only way that make me truly happy

So many ways to go
I choose to use my own
And you don't have to understand
Because it's up to me, yeah, up to me alone
And you can't change the way I am

Just a girl showing off is what you see
I just do what's right for me 
Won't imitate anyone else
You be them, I'll be myself

Don't get wrong cause I've respect
How other people choose 
How to live their lives 
But I deserve that respect too, oh

So many ways to go
I choose to use my own
And you don't have to understand
Because it's up to me, yeah, up to me alone
And you can't change the way I am

So many ways (so many ways) to go
I choose to use my own (I choose my own)
And you don't have to understand
Because it's up to me, yeah, up to me alone (to me alone)
And you can't change the way I am
(And you can't change the way I am)

Oh, oh 
Oh, oh
Ah, ah

Just a girl (is what you say)
Showing off (but you just wait)
You ain't seen yet just what I have got (no, no, no)
Just a girl (is what you heard)
Showing off (come closer)
You ain't seen yet just what I have got (what I have got…)

So many ways to go
I choose to use my own
And you don't have to understand
Because it's up to me, yeah, up to me alone
And you can't change the way I am

So many ways (so many ways) to go
I choose to use my own (I choose my own)
And you don't have to understand
Because it's up to me, yeah, up to me alone (to me alone)
And you can't change the way I am
(And you can't change the way I am, ho)
And you can't change the way I am
(You can't change the way I am, oh)
And you can't change the way I am
(You can't change the way I am)
