Lyrics I Just Wanna Be Me - Thelma Houston

I Just Wanna Be Me

You, you wake up every day
And you know that I’ll be there
Oh you, you never stop to think
We’re not going anywhere
You wanna dream my dreams
You wanna speak my lies
But one thing you can’t do
Is see us through my eyes
Oh baby, it’s my life, and I got a lot to live
It’s my love, and I’ll choose the time to give
Set me free, 'cause I just wanna be me…
Time, it used to be my friend
Now it’s telling me to run
Oh, I’m strung out from end to end
Gotta do what must be done (must be done)
There’s so much me inside
It’s hard to hide away
I can’t dance anymore
To the music, music that we play
Oh, oh, it’s my life, and I got a lot to live
It’s my love, and I’ll choose the time to give
Set me free, 'cause I just wanna be me…
Oh, oh, it’s my life, and I got a lot to live
It’s my love, and I’ll choose the time to give it
Set me free, set me free, 'cause I just wanna be me, yeah…
