Sometimes you think that you're no good the way you are
And so you change the way you act
You think by acting like somebody that you're not
You're gonna be cool, but here's the fact

Chorus:
You won't be cool, you got to be true
You got to be yourself
You won't be cool, you got to be true
You got to be yourself
You got to be, you got to be, you got to be,
You got to be yourself and nobody else
You got to be yourself and nobody else
You got to be yourself and nobody else

Repeat Chorus

Sometimes you think that you're no good the way you are
And so you change the way you act
You think by acting like somebody that you're not
You're gonna be cool, but here's the fact

Repeat Chorus
