�Not Me�
by Amy Pearson
When you first walked into my life
I was so happy
You just made me smile
I�d do anything that you like
But after a little while
All these questions about
Where I�ve been
Where I�m going
Who�s that calling on the phone
What�s become of
The guy I met
I just wish that
You would leave me alone
Chorus
�Cause I�ll be who I wanna be
And I�ll see who I wanna see
I won�t go changing for nobody
And I�ll do what I wanna do
Screw you if you don�t like it,
too
I won�t go changing, no, not me
I just keep on wondering why
Always comes as a surprise
That people think that they got the right
To tell me how to live my life
Too much talk about
What I wear, style my hair
Seems like it�s always wrong
The advice line just
Never stops
Time to tell
Everyone to step off
Just back off
(Chorus)
Ain�t about being right
I just go with my instinct
And I
trust myself
That�s what I do
Why don�t you
Keep your mind on you
(Chorus)
