about

I wrote this track kind of as a coming of age song for myself as well as those who need confidence to just be who they are.

lyrics

Verse 1

La Da Da

Dirty clothes, I ignore
A crooked clock hangs on my wall
Sometimes my hair is red, or styled in dreads
I like to wear sneakers with a cocktail dress

PC
You may tease me when I sing off key
And when I’m dancing to a hip hop beat
That don’t bother me cuz

Chorus
That’s just who I am
What you see, is what you get
That’s just who I am
I know I’m crazy; can’t change me baby
I’m nobody else but me…Just who I am

La da da , da da da

V
I’m not a gourmet Chef, I must confess
I like cheesy chips on my tuna fish
I got a new tattoo, says, “I love me too”
And purple martinis make me come unglued.

PC
You roll your eyes when I make funny faces
And when I skip around in public places
That don’t bother me cuz

Chorus
That’s just who I am
What you see, is what you get
That’s just who I am
I know I’m crazy; can’t change me baby
I’m nobody else but just who I am

Bridge
I don’t try for perfection
Not afraid of your rejection
Your words won’t get it my way

Chorus
That’s just who I am
What you see, is what you get
That’s just who I am
I know I’m crazy; can’t change me baby
I’m nobody else but me I’ll be nobody else but Just who I am
La da da da
