You can't except me for who I am.
I try so hard to get you to understand.
I don't know if I can take this pain anymore 'cause my hearts been torn.
What did I do to be treated this way?
You keep beating me down but I still ask you to stay.
And I know I wanna be myself but you want me to be someone else.
It's just the same thing
How you try to change me.
So tell me what you want from me
What can't you let me be?
I just can't go on taking all this abuse.
No matter what I do it's never enough for you.
And I know that I'm disgusted by the way that you think of me.
You make me do things that I don't want to do.
And you don't give a damn about what you put me through.
You need to face the truth that I'm not like you.
Chorus
I'ma do what I wanna do not what you tell me to.
You say you're looking out for me well that's a sad excuse
So drop the attitude because I've been abused.
You keep playin with me and see what I do.
What do you get outa messin with me?
Because I'm just tryin to do my own thing.
But still you try to take everything I've got
And it just won't stop.
So tell me what you want from me.
And what's the reason that you won't let me be?
I keep tellin you again and again
No one can change me because of who I am.
Chorus
