Be Yourself Lyrics by The Settlement

The Settlement

2016

[Intro]
I ainʼt seen what youʼve seen
I ainʼt been where you have been
I never claim to, I never want to
I never will be just like you

[Verse 1]
Canʼt you see that Iʼll never be the epitome of this American Dream?
But who called it a dream anyway?
Weʼre always searching for something else and something more
But did you know?

[Chorus]
If you wanna be somebody (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go off and be yourself (go off and be yourself)
If you wanna be somebody (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go off and be yourself

[Verse 2]
From the time that we are small
Weʼre taught that being perfect is a possibility
Spelling bees, little league, talent shows and show and tell
Lord, we all wanna be the richest man in this town

[Chorus]
If you wanna be somebody (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go off and be yourself (Go off and be yourself)
If you wanna be somebody (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go off and be yourself
Get down with your bad self

[Outro]
If you wanna be somebody (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go off and be yourself (Go off and be yourself)
If you wanna be somebody (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go off and be yourself (Go off and be yourself)
If you wanna be somebody (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go off and be yourself (Go off and be yourself)
If you wanna be somebody (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Quit trying to be someone else
