Why

Oh why, why Ooooh baby, baby How many days have I told myself get up again And go on with the struggle Tryin’ to be someone else Why should I pretend that I like the mood I’m in? [Hook:] Day to day the roads we play Walkin’ ‘round with frowns on our face, when we wanna be happy Never bein’ true to self, once you’re gone there’s nothin’ left but a breeze Wantin’ to be free [Chorus:] Why, why can’t they just let me be? And why, why can’t I just be free? Without them tellin’ me where to go, what to say, who to see And why, why can’t I just be free? How many ways have I tried to be like someone else But couldn’t fit the profile Dancin’ a dance Knowing that I’m off beat all the while But I didn’t believe [Hook] Be free, ooh [Chorus x2 ]
