I Just Wanna Be Me - Thelma Houston

You, you wake up every day

And you know that I’ll be there

Oh you, you never stop to think

We’re not going anywhere

You wanna dream my dreams

You wanna speak my lies

But one thing you can’t do

Is see us through my eyes

Oh baby, it’s my life, and I got a lot to live

It’s my love, and I’ll choose the time to give

Set me free, 'cause I just wanna be me…

Time, it used to be my friend

Now it’s telling me to run

Oh, I’m strung out from end to end

Gotta do what must be done (must be done)

There’s so much me inside

It’s hard to hide away

I can’t dance anymore

To the music, music that we play

Oh, oh, it’s my life, and I got a lot to live

It’s my love, and I’ll choose the time to give

Set me free, 'cause I just wanna be me…

Oh, oh, it’s my life, and I got a lot to live

It’s my love, and I’ll choose the time to give it

Set me free, set me free, 'cause I just wanna be me, yeah…
