I Gotta Be Me Songtext
von Ryan Malcolm

My first grade teacher said that if I wanted to get ahead
I′d have to learn to pay attention
But I never listened to a word she said
And I always wound up in detention

It wasn't fair
I didn′t care

I gotta be me
I never fit into the box
I gotta be me
Mr. Unorthodox
I gotta be me
Always different from the crowd
I gotta be me
Even my whisper comes out loud

I remember working my very first job
I was lifting crates
The boss said, "Boy, you'll never fit in," ha
He's the one that′s stuck there living inside a life he hates
And I′m the one who's really living, yeah


It wasn′t fair
Oh, I didn't care

I gotta be me
I never fit into the box
I gotta be me
Mr. Unorthodox
I gotta be me
Always different from the crowd
I gotta be me
Even my whisper comes out loud

It wasn′t fair
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I didn't care

I gotta be me
I never fit into the box
I gotta be me
Mr. Unorthodox (Oh)
I gotta be me
Always different from the crowd
I gotta be me (Yeah)
Even my whisper comes out loud (Oh now, yeah yeah)


I never fit into the box
I gotta be me
Mr. Unorthodox
I gotta be me
Always different from the crowd
I gotta be me
Even my whisper comes out loud (Even my
Whisper, even my whisper comes out loud)

I never fit into the box (I′ll never fit into the box)
I gotta be me
Mr. Unorthodox
I gotta be me
Always different from the crowd (You know
I'm different, I'm different from the crowd)
I gotta be me
Even my whisper comes out loud
