I Gotta Be Me

My first grade teacher said that if I wanted to get ahead

I have to learn to pay attention

But I've never listened to a word she said

And I always wound up in detention

It wasn't fair, I didn't careI 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 loudI remember working my very first job, I was lifting crates

Impossible 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, ohh, I didn't careI 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 loudIt wasn't fair, woh, woh, woh, woh, I didn't careI 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 loudI 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, even my whisper comes out loud)

I never fit into the box

(I'll never fit into the box)

Mr. Unorthodox

I gotta be me, always different from the crowd

I gotta be me
