Being Me - The Strange Familiar

I’m not a tough girl

Never been much of a rough girl

I don’t like to be mean

Guess that’s a Midwestern theme

Don’t have a single tattoo

Always got straight A’s in school

And yeah, I sing in the choir

Never made a good liar

And I’ve been turned down

By every bigwig in town

But I’m not one to quit

This story ain’t over yet

Oh, I’ll never belt it like Janis Joplin

And I’ll never kiss Katy Perry

I may never sing a duet with Gaga

And I’ll never be as cool as The Black Keys

I can’t be something I’m not

But I’m just fine

Being Me

I grew up listening to Vedder

And it don’t get much Better, Man

I wish it could be

Nineteen — Ninety — Three

I’ll never fly like a G6

I don’t want to be too rich, be a billionaire

I guess I don’t really care

'Bout being up in the club

I’d rather hang in a pub

Where everyone knows my name

I guess that’s lame

Oh, I’ll never belt it like Janis Joplin

And I’ll never kiss Katy Perry

I may never sing a duet with Gaga

And you probably won’t hear this song on Glee

I can’t be something I’m not

But I’m just fine

Being Me

What happened to music?

What happened to meaning something more than

Money, sex and controversy?

I can’t be something I’m not

But I’m just fine

Being Me
