[00:08.18]Please don’t mistake me or try to make me
[00:11.79]A shadow of anybody else
[00:15.65]I ain’t the him or her you think I am
[00:18.95]I’m just trying hard to be myself
[00:22.54]Oh, society’s goal is to be part of the whole
[00:26.44]That may sound good to you, not to me
[00:31.84]Let me be, let me be
[00:33.98]To think like I want to
[00:35.64]Let me be, let me be
[00:37.71]That’s all I ask of you
[00:39.57]I am what I am and that’s all I ever can be
[00:46.22]
[00:50.62]Don’t try to plan me or understand me
[00:54.22]I can’t stand to be understood
[00:57.74]I could never give in to or ever live up to
[01:01.86]Bein’ like you think I should
[01:04.97]I’ve got some inner need which I’m tryin’ to heed
[01:08.99]I can’t take hand-me-down destiny
[01:14.48]Let me be, let me be
[01:16.52]To think like I want to
[01:18.12]Let me be, let me be
[01:20.28]That’s all I ask of you
[01:22.08]I am what I am and that’s all I ever can be
[01:28.64]
[01:33.10]Don’t try to change me or rearrange me
[01:36.60]To satisfy the selfishness in you
[01:40.56]I’m not a piece of clay to mold to your moods each day
[01:44.33]And I’m not a pawn to be told how to move
[01:47.66]I’m sorry I’m not the fool you thought would play by your rules
[01:51.62]But to each his own philosophy
[01:57.05]Let me be, let me be
[01:59.15]To think like I want to
[02:00.88]Let me be, let me be
[02:02.97]That’s all I ask of you
[02:04.76]I am what I am and that’s all I ever can be
[02:09.77]I said that’s all I ever can be
[02:13.26]I said that’s all I ever can be
[02:16.83]I said that’s all I ever can be
[02:20.51]I said that’s all I ever…
