I Don't Wanna Be Songtext
von Joe McBride

Have a little fun with it
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Yeah, I can′t be nobody but myself, uh-uh
Like fried chicken, big-legged women, no
That's me, here we go, mmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mmm, mmm, mmm

I don′t need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist′s son
I don′t need to be anyone other than my mom and dad's boy
Part of where I′m going is knowing where I'm coming from

I don′t wanna be anything other than what I try to be lately
All I have to do is think of me, get some peace of mind
I'm tired of looking ′round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other, ooh, but other than me

Yep, exactly what I′m talking about
Mmm, ah


I′m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I′m surrounded by people who don't know who they are
Could I be the one that′s listening?
Could I be the one that's gotta learn?

I don′t wanna be anything other than what I try to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and get some peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Who I′m supposed to be
I don′t wanna be anything other than me, yeah, mmm

Hey, y'all, can I have your attention, please?
′Cause you know what?
If you ain't this or that, you got to leave, hey

′Cause you know I came from the mountains and the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay and stone
And now I'm telling everybody, yeah, yeah

I don′t need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist′s son
I don′t have to be anyone other than my mom and dad's boy
Part of where I′m going is knowing where I'm coming from


I don′t wanna be anything other than what I try to be lately
All I have to do is think of me, get some peace of mind
I'm tired of looking ′round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me, yeah, yeah
I don′t wanna be anything other than what I try to be lately
All I have to do is think of me, get a little peace of mind
I′m getting tired of running 'round rooms
Wondering what I gotta do, who I′m supposed to be
I don't wanna be anybody other, other than me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just wanna be me, yeah
Can′t be nobody but myself
'Cause of me, yeah
Hoo, girl, hoo
