Be Yourself
Sarahbeth Taite
GENRE [Verse 1]
Cindy's got a cigarette put to her lips and matches lit
And Amy quit seven weeks ago
Amy sees me walking up
She's smoking and she says, hey do you hate me?
I just smile and tell her no
[Chorus]
I can't be you, you can't be me
Why would I ever give a damn?
You can't be me and I can't be you
But I can be just who I am
I can still hear Mama saying
Be yourself, everyone else is taken
[Verse 2]
I could try to fit in
I could try to write this song
But I think we all know
That'd be a square peg in a round hole
I could try on leather pants
Get a tattoo 'cross my back, a skull and crossbones
Trade my truck for a Comero
(Hell no)
[Chorus]
I can't be you, you can't be me
Why would I ever give a damn?
You can't be me and I can't be you
But I can be just who I am
I can still hear Mama saying
Be yourself, everyone else is taken
[Bridge]
Be yourself, yeah
Yeah, be yourself
[Chorus]
I can't be you, you can't be me
Why would I ever give a damn?
You can't be me and I can't be you
But I can be just who I am
I can still hear Mama saying
Be yourself, everyone else is taken
[Outro]
Everyone else is taken
Cindy's got a cigarette put to her lips and matches lit
And Amy quit seven weeks ago
Amy sees me walking up
She's smoking and she says, hey do you hate me?
I just smile and tell her no
[Chorus]
I can't be you, you can't be me
Why would I ever give a damn?
You can't be me and I can't be you
But I can be just who I am
I can still hear Mama saying
Be yourself, everyone else is taken
[Verse 2]
I could try to fit in
I could try to write this song
But I think we all know
That'd be a square peg in a round hole
I could try on leather pants
Get a tattoo 'cross my back, a skull and crossbones
Trade my truck for a Comero
(Hell no)
[Chorus]
I can't be you, you can't be me
Why would I ever give a damn?
You can't be me and I can't be you
But I can be just who I am
I can still hear Mama saying
Be yourself, everyone else is taken
[Bridge]
Be yourself, yeah
Yeah, be yourself
[Chorus]
I can't be you, you can't be me
Why would I ever give a damn?
You can't be me and I can't be you
But I can be just who I am
I can still hear Mama saying
Be yourself, everyone else is taken
[Outro]
Everyone else is taken
