Just be as you are Be as you are, be as, be as you are But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand And she told me, young man There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are

Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling I'm movin' past the feeling again Meant nothin' at all We're still screamin' In the suburbs I I learned to drive And you told me we'd never survive Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'

Someone who'll watch over me There's a saying old says that love is blind Still were often told, seek and ye shall find So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet Hes the big affair I cannot forget Only

Do nothin' till you hear from me Some-one told some-one and some-one told you But they wouldn't hurt you, not much, Since ev'ryone spread the story With his own little personal touch. Pay no attention to what's said Why people tear the seam of anyone's

Don't let me down Don't let me down (don't let me down) Where we go from here is all your choice I told you things about me I let you put your arms around me 'Cause love is a waste of time if you and I don't do this right Don't let me down, no Do you

Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will? Wasting all my precious time I've told you now Still I refrain From talking at you, talking on You know me well I don't explain You know what I mean

And all that I've lost, and all that I've won Don't mean nothing more when you open your eyes and they're gone We try to stay young, by chasing the sun You blink for too long, the swans sing a song After all we've been told, we're still flesh and bone

That's what my heart needs You left me, for another You told me, he was your lover So I'm begging and I'm pleading And I'm down on any knee, ooh baby Baby, ooh baby I'm calling you out loud and clear, baby I love you, yes I do

But I told you so I said I, I don't wanna control you Oh, and I know, yeah As long as you know, baby Every pleasure you taste has its price, babe But I told you so, no I don't wanna say I told you so I am gonna show you The world, and all that you desire

Is it all because of my rebel heart? Why do I keep dreaming of you? I don't know what it is that makes me run That makes me wanna shatter everything that I've done Nothing matters, all is futile You told me once I have a rebel heart I don't know if
