Got to Be Yourself

Baby, I’m exhausted from the life you lead
Why don’t you slow down?
Every night you’re out there makin' every scene
Your face is all over town
You’ve got your hot appointments
You’ve got your business deals, baby
Big Deal
When you look into the mirror, tell me
Which part of you is real?
You’re running with a fast crowd
You’re throwin' out the mean green
You’re tryin' to impress me
But oh… oh
I don’t need excitement
I need something else
When you come around me
Got to be yourself
I need to see the real you
To fall under your spell
When you come around me
Got to be yourself
Don’t give me no perfume from the south of France
Don’t bother
I’ve got my own style
All I want’s a full moon and a slow, slow dance
If you wanna see me smile
Ooh, let’s get to the good stuff
We can take it real slow
I can make you feel good
But oh… oh
I don’t need excitement
I need something else
When you come around me
Got to be yourself
I need to see the real you
To fall under your spell
When you come around me
Got to be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself, baby
Got to be yourself
Kiss me, baby, hey
I just want you to be yourself, darling
Got to be yourself
Say goodbye to the fast lane
You don’t need it no more
I can show you simple pleasures
But oh… oh
I don’t need excitement (I don’t need it)
I need something else (oh baby)
When you come around me
Got to be yourself
I need to see the real you (I need to)
To fall under your spell (I wanna feel you)
When you come around me
Got to be yourself (oh-hoah)
Got to be yourself
Got to be yourself
I don’t need excitement (don't need it)
I need something else
When you come around me
Got to be yourself
I need to see the real you (I need to)
To fall under your spell
When you come around me
Got to be yourself (oh, baby)
I don’t need excitement (I don’t need it)
I need something else
When you come around me
Got to be yourself (just be yourself)
I need to see the real you (I need to)
To fall under your spell (I wanna feel you)
When you come around me
Got to be yourself (just be yourself)
Whoo-hoo…
Got to be yourself
Be yourself, baby
