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, putting on a show
You don't wanna be a wannabe
So who you really gonna be?
Only you can be you
Only I can be me
You always wanna be what you're not
Can't you be happy with what you've got?
You're perfect the way you are
With your insecurities, flaws, and scars
Life's too short to worry
Don't you know it's true
Only you can be you (You can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
Only you can be you (You can be you)
Only I can be me (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's, you're a celebrity
You don't wanna be a wannabe
Show them who you're gonna be
Only you can be you
Only I can be me
You always wanna be what you're not
Can't you be happy with what you've got?
You're perfect the way you are
With your insecurities, flaws, and scars
Life's too short to worry
Don't you know it's true
Only you can be you (You can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
Only you can be you (You can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
If you love who you are, put your hands up
You feelin' good 'bout yourself then stand up
You independent and you're strong, throw your hands up
You feelin' fabulous? Put your hands up
You can be you, I can 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
Only I can be me
You always wanna be what you're not
Can't you be happy with what you've got?
You're perfect the way you are
With your insecurities, flaws, and scars
Life's too short to worry
Don't you know it's true
Only you can be you (You can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
Only you can be you (You can be you)
Only I can be me (I can be me)
