Hey, you what's the matter
Lately you've been looking down
Is that someone in the mirror
The reason you don't come around?
That's crazy
This isn't the you I know
Feeling un-pretty.
Puttin' on a show.
You don't wanna be a wannabe.
So who you really gonna be?

Only You can be you.
And only I can be me.
You always wanna be what you're not.
Can't you be happy with what you got?
Your perfect the way you are.
With your insecurities, doubts, and scars.
Life's to short to worry.
Don't you know it's true.
Only you can be you
And I can be me
Only you can be you
And I can be me

You think you ain't got swagger
Gotta be cooler than you are
I think whatever
Let 'em know that you're a star
Be crazy
Be who you wanna be
No maybe
Your a celebrity
You don; t wanna be a wannabe
Show them who your gonna be

Only You can be you.
And only I can be me.
You always wanna be what you're not.
Can't you be happy with what you got?
Your perfect the way you are.
With your insecurities, doubts, and scars.
Life's to short to worry.
Don't you know it's true.
Only you can be you
And I can be me
Only you can be you
And I can be me

Rap:
If you love who you are
Put your hands up
You feelin' good 'bout yourself
Than stand up
You independent and you strong
Throw your hands up
You feelin' fabulous
Put your hands up
You could be you, I could be me
You a star if you ain't on tv
You tall, you short, you different, you cute
You light, you dark, you beautiful, you, you

Only You can be you.
And only I can be me.
You always wanna be what you're not.
Can't you be happy with what you got?
Your perfect the way you are.
With your insecurities, doubts, and scars.
Life's to short to worry.
Don't you know it's true.
Only you can be you
And I can be me
Only you can be you
And I can be me
Only you can be you
And I can be me
