I'll never be anyone but myself
So what you see is what you get,
If you can't handle me the way I am
Your name I'll soon forget.
I don't play games,
I'm not pretentious, nothing close to beauty queen,
I'm 100% up front, real
I always say just what I mean.
I don't act coy with the men
When the feelings start
What would be the point to continue,
If they don't know my heart?
I couldn't step up onto a catwalk
With the way I dress
On the other hand I think,
Who do *I* need to impress??
When I wake up in the morning
Sometimes I look a fright,
And I'm not pure angel
Once or twice I've had a fight.
When others try to tell me
What I should or shouldn't do
I thank them for their advice
And say "I'm glad it works for you".
I wear my heart out on my sleeve
There's no way I'd rather be
There's no need to wonder how I feel
The real Michelle is there to see.
If you don't want my true opinion,
Please don't even ask.
For when I'm done telling you
You may wish you had taken a pass!
I don't mean to say that I'd be rude
I hate to hurt a soul,
It's just that if you're asking
I'll assume you want to know!
I believe that on this earth
We need all the friends we can get,
So I'd love to get to know you
Just please don't forget...
You're unique and so am I
I'll love you as you are,
But if you try to change me
We won't get very far.
This is me, just how I am
And I'm glad to be this way
So, my friend, accept that fact,
And in my heart you'll always stay.
