The Way I Am Lyrics

[00:07.60] Yeah
[00:08.49] Maybe I'ma get a little anxious
[00:10.36] Maybe I'ma get a little shy
[00:12.38] 'Cause everybody's trying to be famous
[00:14.47] And I'm just trying to find a place to hide, oh
[00:16.62] All I wanna do is just hold somebody
[00:18.62] But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
[00:20.77] I don't even know how to explain this
[00:22.86] I don't even think I'm gonna try
[00:24.64] And that's okay
[00:27.96] I promise myself one day (Hey)
[00:33.41] I'ma tell 'em all
[00:35.06] I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
[00:39.38] But that's just the way I am
[00:41.96] I'ma tell 'em all
[00:43.45] I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
[00:47.63] But that's just the way I am

[00:52.40] That's just the way I am
[00:54.58] That's just the way I am
[00:56.64] That's just the way I am
[00:58.49] Maybe I'ma get a little nervous
[01:00.43] Maybe I don't go out anymore (Oh)
[01:02.58] Feelin' like I really don't deserve this (Deserve this)
[01:04.61] Life ain't nothing like it was before
[01:06.66] 'Cause all I wanna do is just hold somebody
[01:08.75] But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
[01:10.96] If you go and look under the surface (Surface)
[01:13.02] Baby, I'm a little insecure
[01:14.75] And that's okay (Baby, now, that's okay)
