We never seem to get along
You're always right, I'm never wrong
Wish that you can see the way I see it
I say left, you say right
You see day and I see night
You may have your dream but I can't be it
So don't try to change me
'Cause I'm not you
I walked a mile in your shoes
Learned a lot, I was amused
But I can't be anyone but me
I can change what I wear
Change the color of my hair
But I can't be anyone but me
If you could try to understand
You'd see who I really am
I just want to make my own decisions
You try to make me someone else
But I've got to be myself
Don't wanna have to ask for your permission
I walked a mile in your shoes
Learned a lot, I was amused
But I can't be anyone but me
I can change what I wear
Change the color of my hair
But I can't be anyone but me
Now that we've found a start
To be just who we are
It doesn't have to be so hard
Now that we've come so far
I'm proud of me
Together we will see
All the missing pieces of this
Wild crazy mystery
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah yeah
I walked a mile in your shoes
Learned a lot, I was amused
But I can't be anyone but me
I can change what I wear
Change the color of my hair
But I can't be anyone but me
