I Wanna Be Like Me

Sara Bareilles · The Blessed Unrest [2013]

Oooooh, oooh

Oooooh, oooh



What if I wanna be the one who

Never looks like anybody?

What if I wanna be the one who

Goes her own way?

Would you still believe in someone like me?



What if I wanna be the one who

Doesn't belong here?

What if I wanna be the one who

Won't fit in?

Would you find a new way to make room for me?



CHORUS:

What if I don't wanna be like you?

Not to make you cry

What if I don't wanna be like you?

Just because I was made to be exactly like me

What if I don't wanna be like you?

Not to tear you down

What if I don't wanna be like you?

Because I found I was made to be exactly like me

I wanna be like me



Oooooh, oooh

Oooooh, oooh



What if I wanna be the one who

Doesn't need to hide?

What if I wanna be the one who

Won't apologize?

I'm not the enemy (oooooh)

Unless you want the truth to see



What if I wanna be the one who

You never understand?

Do you ever think you'll ever want to still try to hold my hand?

I'm still trying to



CHORUS



(Break)



Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh



What if I don't wanna be like you?

What if I don't wanna be like you?

What if I don't wanna be like you?

What if I don't wanna be like you?



What if I don't wanna be like you?

Not to tear you down

What if I don't wanna be like you?

Because I found I was made to be exactly like me

I wanna be like me
