i see that you're confused
i'm trying to control my self
this is just me
you noticed it
i hope any way
i hope that you realize
that this is jast as i am
i'm always me
never try to change me
if i could get my chances back
i'd be sadisfied
if you come and arrive right nopw
i'd be happy
cause there's no tommrow
this is just me
no tommrow
just follow me now
and i'll show you straight away
no way can i wait for you
to hurrry
This Is Just Me

Released during a pivotal moment when female artists began reclaiming vocal dominance in the genre, the track showcases Guy's powerful, emotive delivery and her ability to navigate complex lyrical themes of self-identity and vulnerability. As one of her most recognized recordings, the song exemplifies the fusion of soulful melody and contemporary production that characterized the late 1980s. Its enduring popularity highlights Guy's significant contribution to the evolution of R&B, establishing her as a formidable force who bridged the gap between traditional soul and emerging urban sounds. The record remains a testament to her artistic range and the cultural impact of women in music during that transformative period.
