Lyrics Being Me - The Strange Familiar

Being Me

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
