Nobody can tell you
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell you
'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you

But you gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind music
Even if nobody else sings along

You gonna be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough going
Just to do your thing is the hardest things to do

But you gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind music
Even if nobody else sings along

So if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be going, I will understand

You gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind music
Even if nobody else sings along

You gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind music
