[Verse 1]
Don't tell me I'm special, I never will be
Don't give me delusions of grandiosity
Don't tell me I'm smart, lots of people are smarter
If I'm working hard, someone's still working harder
And I can be funny every once in a while
But they'll make you laugh and I'll just make you smile
Yeah, I'll just make you smile
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I try to be anybody but myself (myself)
Then I'll die, a sorry
Knockoff of somebody else
[Chorus]
But it's all subject to anyway
Can’t compare Virginia Woolf to Hemingway
You're taxi drivеr, to Cali Bay
Just me to myself (myself, mysеlf)
[Verse 2]
Don't tell me I'm pretty, no that doesn't help
Not if you compare me to everyone else
What they have is real
Find something I'm fake
'Cause I know the real me
It's all within hate
A piece of me's missing
There's just something wrong
I've met all the cool kids and we don't get along
No, we don't get a little along
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I try to be anybody but myself (myself)
Then I'll die, a sorry
Knockoff of somebody else
[Chorus]
But it's all subject to anyway
Can’t compare Virginia Woolf to Hemingway
Or taxi driver to Cabaret
Just me to myself (myself, myself)
Or Basquiat to Claude Monet
Or a bird in flight to a big jet plane
Or line dancing to the Royal Ballet
Just me to myself (myself, myself)
Or a New York City to L.A
Or a left side mind to a right side brain
Or a Claire de Lune to run away
Just me to myself (myself, myself)
Or Elliot Smith to cool in the gate
Or a winter's Eve to a summer's day
Or the Hawk to a girl's entertain (just me to myself)
