I feel like you see right through me,
And never ever really knew me-
Don't want to be around when you start to fall.

I've got to follow all of my dreams;
Gotta figure out what this life means-
Don't want to be around when you fall.

They say that life's an open book;
Turn the page and take another look.
You can't judge me by my cover,
It's not what you see but what you discover!

Can't push me down, [bad word] around,
Everything that you put me through-
I, I, I, I, I don't want to be like you...

I may be different, but I'm beautiful.
Every diamond's individual!
Everyone shines in their own way.

Kaleidoscopes have many different colors,
I'll never be just like all the others.
Gotta open your mind, I'll prove you wrong.

They say that life's an open book;
Turn the page and take another look.
You can't judge me by my cover,
It's not what you see but what you discover.

Can't push me down, [bad word] around,
Everything that you put me through-
I, I, I, I, I don't want to be like you...

They say the grass is greener on the other side,
But from where I'm standing it looks just fine.
I'll always be an outcast; I'll never get in line;
You keep on living your life and I'll live mine.

You can't judge me by my cover,
You can't judge me by my cover,
It's not what you see but what you discover.

Can't push me down, [bad word] around,
Everything that you put me through-
I don't want to be like you...

You can't judge me by my cover,
It's not what you see but what you discover!

Can't push me down, [bad word] around,
Everything that you put me through-
I, I, I, I, I don't want to be like you...

Don't want to be like you...
Don't want to be like you...
