The way that things are I can see
Are the way that these things have to be
And all the reasons we are through
Are because you are you are you
You tried so hard to treat me right
And you tried to be there every night
But temptation gave the chance to be untrue
And prove that you are you are you
You are you are you
There was nothing I could do
And I know it's just the way it's gonna be
Because I myself am me
I could ask God why there is war
Or why so many people must be poor
I could ask God why the sky is blue
Or why you are you are you
And i know it doesn't matter in the end
So I'm not gonna try to pretend
Because I'm much better off being free
Because I myself am me
You are you are you
There was nothing I could do
And I know it's just the way it's gonna be
Because I myself am me
