The Way I Am

I see your shopping cart
You treat me like a piece of meat, steada like'a piece of art, I'm gonna
Bang! Bang! Yeah take your shot
You got so much to say, but there's so much you forgot

I don't like the way you talk to me
Come walk with me, a'come on
You try to alter, these faults, you see
But babe you are wrong!

Nothing's gonna take me down, no
Nothing's gonna turn me around
I like the way I am
And no one's gonna change this man, no ma'am
No one's gonna change this man, oh man
I'm just tryn'a speak my mind
So your corrections I politely decline
I like the way I am
And no one's gonna change this man, no ma'am
No one's gonna change me

Ah ski-di-di-di-di-da-da-da!
No, no, no, no!

You think you're drivin' from the backseat
This ain't a taxi, you're gonna crash me
You twist my arm to make me somebody else
Or put me up on that shelf
But take a look at yourself

I don't like the way you're choking me
Provoking me, how come all
You do is stifle my creativity, with negativity?

Nothing's gonna take me down, no
Nothing's gonna turn me around
I like the way I am
And no one's gonna change this man, no ma'am
No one's gonna change this man, oh man
I'm just tryn'a speak my mind
So your corrections I politely decline
I like the way I am
And no one's gonna change this man, no ma'am
No one's gonna change me

You take me up and then you tear me down, so down
I'm leaving this merry-go-round, around, around
What do you want me to say? Its not gonna be okay
That's just fine, I'll be alright without you in my life!
Gotta stand on my two feet, 'steada send I'll press delete
And when I check my mail, you better not be there

No-no-no-oh!

Nothing's gonna take me down, no
Nothing's gonna turn me around
I like the way I am
And no one's gonna change this man, no ma'am
No one's gonna change this man, oh man
I'm just tryn'a speak my mind
So your corrections I politely decline
I like the way I am
And no one's gonna change this man, no ma'am
No one's gonna change me

Oh nothing, oh nothing, oh nothing
Oh nothing, oh nothing, it's gonna take this man
I like the way I am, I li-i-ke the way I am
No corrections I politely decline
I like the way I am
No one's gonna, no one's gonna
No one's gonna change me!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
