Everyone said I was a strong-willed child
But I was just developing my own style
Why, I pay a price being independent
If the rule won't break I'm gonna bend it
I'm soft like a woman, strong like a man
Easy to love and hard to understand

This is me take it or leave it
My own girl, you better believe it
What you see is what I am and who I wanna be
This is me

Never been afraid to speak my mind
Lay my heart out on the line
I've had my share of wrong directions
Yeah, but everybody's got a few imperfections
I spent a lot of time getting this way
And baby, I'm never gonna change

This is me take it or leave it
My own girl, you better believe it
What you see is what I am and who I wanna be
This is me

Why would I wanna be anyone else
When it feels so good just being myself

This is me, take it or leave it
My own girl, you better believe it
What you see is what I am and who I wanna be
This is me

This is me
