Be What You Wanna Be Lyrics

You looking blue today, has someone got you down

Who drove your smile away, replaced it with a frown

Well I've got to tell you girl there's nothing wrong with you that I can see

So be what you wanna be

Be what you wanna be

You got those shifty eyes, you looking to impress

What goes on behind the scenes is anybody's guess

Lipstick, high heels, sweet perfume and a thousand dollar dress, what luxury

Be what you are or be what you wanna be

Close your eyes, take a breath, look up and you'll see

All the things around you more valuable than gold

I ain't gonna hate you 'cause you don't fit the mold

You don't fit the mold

Oh and who's to say what's cool

You got to play by your own rules

Yeah and put away self-doubt

Approval from within is something you can't do without

So glad to see me girl, you say it seems like years

And you begin telling me what you think I wanna hear

Then check your watch and say you need another beer, you just don't see

Be what you are or be what you wanna be

Close your eyes, take a breath, look up and you'll see

All the things around you more valuable than gold

I ain't gonna hate you 'cause you don't fit the mold

You don't fit the mold

There's too much to do in life to worry about fittin' in

To compromise yourself would truly be a sin

Individuality must be heard above the din of society

So be what you wanna be

Yeah you got to be what you wanna be

Be what you are or what you wanna be oh
