You can't except me for who I am
I try so hard to get you to understand
I don't know if I can take this pain anymore cuz my hearts been torn
What did I do to be treated this way?
You keep beating me down but I still ask you to stay
And I know I wanna be myself but you want me to be someone else

It's just the same thing
How you try to change me
So tell me what you want from me
What can't you let me be?

I just can't go on taking all this abuse
No matter what I do it's never enough for you
And I know that I'm disgusted by the way that you think of me
You make me do things that I don't want to do
And you don't give a damn about what you put me through
You need to face the truth that I'm not like you

Chorus

I'ma do what I wanna do not what you tell me to
You say you're looking out for me well that's a sad excuse
So drop the attitude because I've been abused
You keep playin with me and see what I do
What do you get outa messin with me?
Because I'm just tryin to do my own thing
But still you try to take everything I've got
And it just won't stop
So tell me what you want from me
And what's the reason that you won't let me be?
I keep tellin you again and again
No one can change me because of who I am

Chorus
