I work hard every day
And I play my own kind of way.
And I swear that I would never do
Anything to directly hurt you.

But I drive faster then I know I should
And I speak my mind the way nobody else could.

Chorus
It's who I am, it's what I do
But you look at me and say that I should
Take it back.
Would Marilyn dye her hair black?
It's who I am it's what I do
But you look at me and say that
It's just not you.
Well it's just not you.

I may be a little loose with my tongue
And I make take a little more then I won.
I indulge in life and dessert.
If you don't act funny then nobody gets hurt.

I try a little everything that comes my way.
I keep myself open to a little more every day.

Chorus

Bridge
Ooohhh
I am not so bad. I'm not so bad.
Ooohhh
I do the best I can with what I have.

Solo

You can try to change my ways.
You can try to live my days.
In fact I dare you, take walk in my shoes.
When you finally come up for air
I'll be half a world ahead of you.

Take a look at my life and tell me what you see.
I'm not trying to change nobody, I'm just trying to be
free.

Chorus

It's who I am, it's what I do
Don't tell me that I have to
Change my ways
Just to please you.
It's who I am it's what I do
No way that I could ever be just like you.
Well it's just like you.
