Yeah
Maybe I'ma get a little anxious
Maybe I'ma get a little shy
'Cause everybody's trying to be famous
And I'm just trying to find a place to hide, oh
All I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
I don't even know how to explain this
I don't even think I'm gonna try
And that's okay
I promise myself one day (Hey)
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either
Hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either
Hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
Maybe I'ma get a little nervous
Maybe I don't go out anymore (Oh)
Feelin' like I really don't deserve this (-serve this)
Life ain't nothing like it was before
'Cause all I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
If you go and look under the surface (Surface)
Baby, I'm a little insecure
And that's okay (Baby, now, that's okay)
I promise myself one day (Hey)
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either
Hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
I'ma tell 'em all (All)
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either
Hate me or love me (Hate me or love me)
But that's just the way I am
That's just the way I am (I am)
That's just the way I am (I am)
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
I'ma tell em' all (That's just the way I am)
I'ma tell em' all that you could either
Hate me or love me (That's just the way I am)
And that's just the way I am
Am, am
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted
I am, am, am
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted all along
Everybody's trying to be famous
And I'm just trying to find a place to hide (Hey)
I'ma tell 'em all ('Em all)
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either
Hate me or love me (Hate me or love me)
But that's just the way I am
I'ma tell 'em all ('Em all)
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either
Hate me or love me (Hate me or love me)
But that's just the way I am
That's just the way I am (Maybe I'ma get a little anxious)
That's just the way I am (Maybe I'ma get a little scared)
That's just the way I am ('Cause everybody's trying to be famous)
That's just the way I am
I'ma tell em' all ('Em all)
I'ma tell em' all that you could either
Hate me or love me (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
But that's just the way I am
