verse 1:
You put me on a shelf,
You think you've got me pegged,
Like everybody else,
Always messing with my head
Stop trying to make me change,
Stop trying to make me fake,
Because I really don't appreciate it,
Chorus:
Do you mind,
If I'm just me?
So what if I do everything a little bit imperfectly?
What do you care?
Would you be there
When you get it straight
That you can't make me anything you want me to be
Because that's not me
(I'm an individual)
verse 2:
This world can get you down
It's always stumping
To pattern your whole life
They've got you jumping.
I used to say how high
But now I say good-bye
Because I think i had enough
Chorus:
Do you mind,
If I'm just me?
So what if I do everything a little bit imperfectly?
What do you care?
Would you be there
When you get it straight
That you can't make me anything you want me to be
Because that's not me
(I'm an individual)
That's not me
(I won't be your paper doll)
Bridge:
You've got me mistaken
For somebody else
I'm not your creation
A weaker imitaition of myself.
Yeah! Yeah Yeah! Yeah
Do you mind,
If I'm just me?
So what if I do everything a little bit imperfectly?
What do you care?
Would you be there
When you get it straight
That you can't make me anything you want me to be
Because that's not me
(I'm an individual)
Oh, do you mind, yeah,
That's not
That's not
That's not me
