life has come a long way since yesterday I say
and its not the same old thing over again I say
just do what you feel and don`t you fool yourself I say
cause I can`t make you happy unless I am I say I say I
got to be true to myself got to be true to myself
day in day out I`ve asked many questions I say
only to find the truth it never changes I say
if you don`t deal with it it keeps killing you a little by little I say
call me selfish if you will my life I alone can live I say I say I
got to be true to myself got to be true to myself
I don`t care if it hurts I`m tired of lies and all these games
I`ve reached a point in life no longer can I be this way
don`t come crying to me I too have shed my share of tears
I`m moving on yes I`m grooving on well I`m finally free I`ve
got to be true to myself got to be true to myself
got to be true to myself got to be true to myself
