You don't have to be like anybody else (No)

So what's the problem why can't you be like yourself (Oh)

Your individual, you might as well let it show

Oh, Oh, Oh

Because you're beautiful just the way that you are

Not everybody has to bling-bling superstar

Holla back if you're feeling what I'm feeling (now)

Oh, Oh, Oh



[CHORUS 1:]

You got to do your own thing (Oh)

Don't be just the same (Oh)

Get the party jumping (Oh)

The way you like (Oh)

You got to do your own thing (Oh)

And dance your own way (Oh)

Go a little crazy (Oh)

Cuz you got the right (Oh)



Go Home and change your clothes 25 times a day

Tell the haters not to come around, you (they) bother me

KNow that it's your world, go ahead and live it up

Oh

Some call you crazy well I Guess they'll never understand 

I change my hair, my clothes, my style because I know I can

Now get out on the dance floor, and dance

You got to do your own thing (Oh)

Don't be just the same 

Get the party jumping (Oh)
