[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Well I am, what I am, what I am, could be who you are?
~#**************#~
Is your pain, when you smile cause 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?
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
My papa used to say
~#**************#~
Youre just a loser
~#**************#~
And youre never gonna have what it takes
~#**************#~
Mama used to say
~#**************#~
All that loud music you play aint gonna get you nowhere
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
~#**************#~
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
If you cried, would you hide?
~#**************#~
Would you want all the world to know?
~#**************#~
And if you believe 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?
~#**************#~
Wait
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
My papa used to say
~#**************#~
Youre just a loser
~#**************#~
And youre never gonna have what it takes
~#**************#~
Mama used to say
~#**************#~
All that loud music you play aint gonna get you nowhere
~#**************#~
My papa used to say
~#**************#~
Youre just a loser
~#**************#~
And youre never gonna have what it takes
~#**************#~
Mama used to say
~#**************#~
All that loud music you play aint gonna get you nowhere
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
~#**************#~
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
If you cant, cant oh, be yourself, what are you living for?
~#**************#~
If you cant, cant oh, be yourself, youre gonna lose it all
~#**************#~
If you cant, cant oh, be yourself, what are you living for?
~#**************#~
Youre gonna find someday, you gotta run away
~#**************#~
You gotta run, run, run, run away
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
My papa used to say
~#**************#~
Youre just a loser
~#**************#~
And youre never gonna have what it takes
~#**************#~
Mama used to say
~#**************#~
All that loud music you play aint gonna get you nowhere
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
~#**************#~
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
~#**************#~
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
~#**************#~
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
