I spend my life
Trying to do things right
But all I do is fall to my face, with my hands and my hips so many times
But then I learned
After being burnt
To get back up, push straight on, stop the tears, people move on-ooon

Refrain:
Well it's alright to be myself
Now I've learned to stand
Well it's okay to be just who I am
I've spent years really hatin' me
Longing to be friends
Now I hope that you can understand
This is who I am

Now when life gets tough
I'm quick to hurry up [bad word] all day, [bad word] through the night, I'll break down walls, I'll hit up high
I don't care if I'm fat,
Or if you think my clothes are bad
Yet I can go to sleep at night, I'm a good person and I'll get by-yyy

Refrain:
Well it's alright to be myself
Now I've learned to stand
Well it's okay to be just who I am
I've spent years really hatin' me
Longing to be friends
Now I hope that you can understand
This is who I am

I need someone someone someone someone like me
You deserve deserve,deserve to have me
Cause our world keeps spinning
And you don't try to turn it

Refrain:
Well it's alright to be myself
Now I've learned to stand
Well it's okay to be just who I am
I've spent years really hatin' me
Longing to be friends
Now I hope that you can understand
This is who I am

Yeaaaaah, yeaah yeah
This is who I am
Ooh, take a breather this is who I a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-am
