Amanda - The Way I Am

This may come as shocking news
I dont wanna be like you
I`m not afarid of standing out
dont belong in a crowd

I dont act like I`m all that
dont think im better
then you are
Still you wanna hassle me
just cause
im following my heart
I`ve tried to fit in what 
other people think that
I should be
but now I found the only way 
to make me truely happy

So many ways to go
I choose to use my own
and you dont have to understand
because it`s up to me alone
and you can`t change
the way I am

Just a girl showing off 
is what you see
I just do what`s right for me
wont imitate anyone else
you be them, I`ll be myself

Don`t get wrong
cause I have respect
how other people choose
how to live their lives but I
deserve that respect too,oh

So many ways to go
I choose to use my own
and you dont have to understand
because it`s up to me alone
and you can`t change
the way I am

oh oh 
oh oh

Just a girl is what you say
showing off but you just wait
you aint seen yet just what 
I have got
no no no
just a girl is what you heard
showing off but you so wrong
you aint seen yet just what 
I have got (what i have got)

So many ways to go
I choose to use my own
and you dont have to understand
because it`s up to me alone
and you can`t change
the way I am

You can`t change the way I am
oh no
you can`t change the way I am
