He said hello, there's something in your hair.
She said I know, but I don't really care
it's not for show
I don't want to glow
I only want to be me.

He said you're strange
don't know what you're about.
If you could change
I'd like to take you out.
She said I doubt
if you could figure out
I only want to be me.

What if you don't like the way I keep my hair
what if you're not taken with the clothes I wear
Does it have to mean there isn't something there?
You can let me be or you can learn to see
I only want to be me.

I can run like a river on a downhill slide.
I can fly on a carpet ride.
There's a light inside of me I just can't hide.
You can let me be,
or you can learn to see
I only want to be me.
Oh I want to be me.
