C'mon and stand a little closer
Talk a little louder
Tell me what you're thinking
And I'll tell you it's alright
Baby, let me see you
Show me what you want to
You don't have to try
Baby just be yourself tonight

So many people out there are trying to talk in your ear
Tell you just who you oughta be
You've tried his way
And her way
And their way
And the world's way
But none of it seems to please

But nobody out there or anybody in here
Knows you better than you know yourself
So don't stop believing in all the things your dreaming
Get out there and find yourself

C'mon and stand a little closer
Talk a little louder
Tell me what you're thinking
And I'll tell you it's alright
Baby, let me see you
Show me what you want to
You don't have to try
Baby just be yourself tonight

Too many people out there
Trying to reach an ideal
That they saw in a magazine
Just cuz he said it she said it
Or I said it or we said it
Doesn't it kinda seem 
Like we're all just pretending that
We know the perfect ending
When we don't even really know ourselves
But when nothing's for certain
It's only you you're hurting
When you try to be someone else

C'mon and stand a little closer
Talk a little louder
Tell me what you're thinking
And I'll tell you it's alright
Baby, let me see you
Show me what you want to
You don't have to try
Baby just be yourself tonight

I can see through all the things 
You try to hide yourself behind
I wanna touch, I wanna taste
Don't be afraid to let me in
Just say what you feel
You're the one I want

So come a little closer
Talk a little louder
Tell me what you're thinking
And I'll tell you it's alright
Baby let me see you 
Show me what you want to
You don't have to try
Baby just be yourself tonight

C'mon and stand a little closer
Talk a little louder
Tell me what you're thinking
And I'll tell you it's alright
Baby let me see you 
Show me what you want to
But you don't have to try
Baby just be yourself tonight

Oh oh
Baby just be yourself tonight
Yeah yeah
Baby just be yourself tonight
