Lyrics

Well, I am what I am
What I am could be who you are
Is your pain when you smile
Because you built a wall around your heart
Do the thoughts in your head keep you up
Cause you feel alone
And are you strong enough to be yourself

Papa used to say you're just a loser
And you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
Ain't gonna get you nowhere

You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself

If you cried would you hide
Would you want all the world to know
And if you believed in love
Would you let it show
Are you in
Are you hip
Are you cool
Do you try too hard
Or are you strong enough to be yourself

Papa used to say you're just a loser
And you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
Ain't gonna get you nowhere
Papa used to say you're just a loser
And you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
Ain't gonna get you nowhere

You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself

If you can't, can't be yourself
What are you living for
If you can't, can't be yourself
You're gonna lose it all
If you can't, can't be yourself
What are you living for
You're gonna find someday
You're gotta run away
You gotta run, run, run away

Papa used to say you're just a loser
And you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
Ain't gonna get you nowhere

You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
