Nobody can tell ya;
There's only one song worth singin'
They may try and sell ya,
'cause it hangs them up
to see somone like you

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sing along

So if you cannot take my hand,
and if you must be goin',
I will understand

You're gonna be knowing
the loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough goin',
just to do your thing's
the hardest thing to do

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along

So if you cannot take my hand,
and if you must be goin',
I will understand

You gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along
