Ah, ah, ah yeah yeah

We never seem to get along
You're always right, I'm never wrong
I wish that you could see the way I see it
I say left, you say right
You say day and I say night
You may have your dream but I can't be it

So don't try to change me
'Cause I'm not you

And I walked a mile in your shoes
Learned a lot, I was amused
But I can't be anyone but me
I could change what I wear
Change the color of my hair
But I can't be anyone but me

If you could try to understand, you'd see who I really am
I just want to make my own decisions
You try to make me someone else, but I've got to be myself
Don't want to have to ask for you're permission

So don't try to change me
'Cause I'm not you

And I walked a mile in your shoes
Learned a lot, I was amused
But I can't be anyone but me
I could change what I wear
Change the color of my hair
But I can't be anyone but me

Now that we've found a way to start to be just who we are
It doesn't have to be so hard now that we've come so far
I'm part of you, you're part of me, together we will see
All the missing pieces in this wild crazy mystery

Ah, ah, ah yeah yeah, oh, hey, anyone but me
Ah, ah, ah yeah yeah, anyone but me

I walked a mile in your shoes
Learned a lot, I was amused
But I can't be anyone but me
I could change what I wear
Change the color of my hair
But I can't be anyone but me
No, I can't be anyone but me

Ah, ah, ah yeah yeah, anyone but me, anyone but me
Ah, ah, ah yeah yeah, oh, hey anyone but me
(Fades 'til end)
