We never seem to get along   You're always right, I'm never wrong   Wish that you can see the way I see it   I say left, you say right      You see day and I see night   You may have your dream but I can't be it   So don't try to change me   'Cause I'm not you      I walked a mile in your shoes   Learned a lot, I was amused   But I can't be anyone but me   I can change what I wear   Change the color of my hair   But I can't be anyone but me      If you could try to understand   You'd see who I really am   I just want to make my own decisions   You try to make me someone else   But I've got to be myself   Don't wanna have to ask for your permission      I walked a mile in your shoes   Learned a lot, I was amused   But I can't be anyone but me   I can change what I wear   Change the color of my hair   But I can't be anyone but me      Now that we've found a start   To be just who we are   It doesn't have to be so hard   Now that we've come so far      I'm proud of me   Together we will see   All the missing pieces of this   Wild crazy mystery      Oh, oh, oh   Yeah yeah   Oh, oh, oh   Yeah yeah      I walked a mile in your shoes   Learned a lot, I was amused   But I can't be anyone but me   I can change what I wear   Change the color of my hair   But I can't be anyone but me
