As time goes by, I take my hands up high Run down my face, close my eyes I take my mind, place it back to when I was Stopped to think which way to go All I want to say to you is one think "I love the way I am" So don't try to get in my mind 'Cause I love the way I am And when it rains don't hide, just come outside Feel free to play around And when the sun is out, all you got to do Is to pray for tears and smile for me All I want to say to you is one thing "I love the way I am" So don't try to get in my mind 'Cause I love the way I am Stop, no. Don't look back All you got to do is trust yourself Just take your mind, place it back in time And you'll know what to do "I love the way I am"
