I know you've read So many books You keep a breast of all the things you think you should You've got your own home grown philosophy And it works for you But please don't try to make it work for me You have nothing to prove But you’re trying much too hard Stop trying to change me (Stop trying to change me…) I am what I am (I am what I am…) No I don’t need you to save me (I don’t need you to save me…) I am what I am (I am what I am…) I don’t want you to show me (I don’t need you to show me…) Because I stand where I stand (I stand where I stand…) I just need you to know me (just need you to know me) Just know who I am (Just know who I am…) Just know who I am... Just know who I am... I know you feel You need to prove That you are good at *simply* Everything you try to do And people *hang* on your every word That you deliver With conviction Though they may just be absurd Leave your armor behind Free your vulnerable mind Stop trying to change me (Stop trying to change me…) I am what I am (I am what I am…) No I don’t need you to save me (I don’t need you to save me…) I am what I am (I am what I am…) I don’t want you to show me (I don’t need you to show me…) Because I stand where I stand (I stand where I stand…) I just need you to know me (just need you to know me) Just know who I am (Just know who I am…) Just know who I am... Just know who I am...
