Lyrics Be Myself - William Hinson , Sonny Miles

My mama loved me sweet
My dad did too
They told me not to find my worth in someone else
But I got a thousand followers that do

I look into the mirror
And staring back at me
Is this version of myself I have created
So that everybody can love me

Why should I be myself?
Why should I be myself?
When everybody loves me for somebody else
Oh, why should I be myself?

They have the cars and the fame
They pull out screaming their names
Why not mine? I don′t mind
If they don't hear me they won′t matter a bit
Tell me why wouldn't I just be myself?

But there's the glam and the lights
They seem to have it so right
Why won′t I? Just a vice
Hard to run a race with only yourself
Tell me, why wouldn′t I just be myself

Why should I be myself?
Why should I be myself?
When everybody loves me for somebody else
Oh, why should I be myself?

I tried out every person
And they just don't feel right
There is no second reversion of someone else
I gotta be myself

Maybe I′ll be myself
Maybe I'll be myself
When everybody loves me for somebody else
Maybe I′ll be myself

I gotta be myself
