I didn’t know
You couldn’t see me again
I didn’t see
You didn’t know how I am
I didn’t know that from the start
I didn't know which way to part
I didn’t know which way to go
Listen to me.
I cannot be the one you want
Why should I be I am what I am
I cannot be the one you need
Listen to me, listen.
I cannot be the one you want
Why should I be I am what I am
I cannot be the one you need
Listen to me, listen
I cannot be the sweetest candy of all
I cannot wear the cutest dress in the world
The melodrama's not my style
I'm not a princess wrapped in a smile
The person you wanted to see, it wasn't me
I cannot be the one you want
Why should I be I am what I am
I cannot be the one you need
Listen to me, listen.
I cannot be the one you want
Why should I be I am what I am
I cannot be the one you need
Listen to me, listen
