Hey you, whatcha gonna do?
Get out of my way 'coz the girl's coming through
I'm proud I'll say it out loud
Never sitting pretty, standing out from the crowd

If I want it, I'll get it
Better give it up 'coz you're never gonna stop me
Having my way
I won't change no matter what you say

That's just the way I am
I do it just because I can
Anything I want to
I'm not gonna ask you, no
You better understand
That's just the way I am

Hey yeah, you say it's not fair
I'm breakin' boys hearts and I just don't care
So what, if I take it too far
Waking up the neighbors, crankin' up my guitar

If I like it, I'll do it
Lock me in a cage and I'll break right through it
Baby, it's true
I won't change no matter what you do

That's just the way I am
I do it just because I can
Anything I want to
I'm not gonna ask you, no
You better understand
That's just the way I am

I'm frustrating
Taking a left when everyone else turns right
Infuriating
Me and my girls rockin' the house all night
Fascinating
Never know when I'm gonna blow your mind

Drive you crazy as I'm takin' the floor
You'll keep coming back for more

That's just the way I am
I do it just because I can

That's just the way I am
I do it just because I can
Anything I want to
I'm not gonna ask you, no
You better understand
That's just the way I am

That's just the way I am
I do it just because I can
Anything I want to
I'm not gonna ask you, no
You better understand
That's just the way I am
