Do you mind If I'm just me? So what if I do everything A little bit imperfectly? What do you care? Would you be there When you get it straight That you can't make me Anything you want me to be? 'Cause that's not me (I'm an individual)
This world can get you down It's always stumping To pattern your whole life They got you jumping I used to say 'How high?\" But now I say goodbye 'Cause I think I've had enough
Do you mind If I'm just me? So what if I do everything A little bit imperfectly? What do you care? Would you be there When you get it straight That you can't make me Anything you want me to be? 'Cause that's not me (I'm an individual) That's not me (I won't be your paper doll)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you mind If I'm just me? So what if I do everything A little bit imperfectly? What do you care? Would you be there When you get it straight That you can't make me Anything you want me to be? 'Cause that's not me (I'm an individual) I say that's not me (I won't be your paper doll)
