If the shoe fits
Thats how the story goes
And rumors get bigger
If they have the water to grow

But I dont care anything about that
It's just a waste of my time
I'm tired of making your "headlines"
That poison your readers minds

Well you sip your champagne
With all of your friends
You slander my name
But that's not how it ends

Cause I'm gonna be me again
I'm not gonna try and pretend
To be anything but me
I'm gonna be the one
That's busy having fun
While you wallow in your "i told you so's"
Yeah I'm gonna be me
The me that no one knows

I take a walk down the street
And someone says "hey that's him
You better watch out for that one
Cause you don't know what he did"

Between a thousand different voices
I used to run and hide
But for the first time today
I stopped listening to what they had to say
And I guess I'm doing alright

Cause you can't judge a book
By the cover it shows
A millionaire could be a philistine
Underneath all his clothes

Cause I'm gonna be me again
I'm not gonna try and pretend
To be anything but me
I'm gonna be the one
That's busy having fun
While you wallow in your "i told you so's"
Yeah I'm gonna be me
The me that no one knows
