1) Never win first place, I don't support the team I can't take direction, and my socks are never clean Teachers dated me, my parents hated me I was always in a fight cuz I can't do nothin' right Bridge: Everyday I fight a war against the mirror I can't take the person starin' back at me Chorus: I'm a hazard to myself Don't let me get me I'm my own worst enemy Its bad when you annoy yourself So irritating Don't wanna be my friend no more I wanna be somebody else I wanna be somebody else, yeah 2) LA told me, "You'll be a pop star, All you have to change is everything you are." Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears She's so pretty, that just ain't me Bridge: Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe me somethin A day in the life of someone else? Chorus: Cuz I'm a hazard to myself Don't let me get me I'm my own worst enemy Its bad when you annoy yourself So irritating Don't wanna be my friend no more I wanna be somebody else Don't let me get me I'm my own worst enemy Its bad when you annoy yourself So irritating Don't wanna be my friend no more I wanna be somebody else Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe me somethin A day in the life of someone else? Don't let me get me Don't let me get me I'm my own worst enemy Its bad when you annoy yourself So irritating Don't wanna be my friend no more I wanna be somebody else

1.) Ich werde nie erste, will mich nicht integrieren, lass mich nicht führen und meine Strümpfe sind nie sauber. Ich hab was mit Lehrern gehabt, meine Alten haben mich gehasst, ich hab immer Streit gehabt, weil ich nichts richtig machen kann. Bridge: Jeden Tag kämpfe ich einen Krieg gegen mein Spiegelbild Ich kann die Person nicht ausstehen, die mich aus dem Spiegel anstarrt. Refrain: Ich bin eine Gefahr für mich selbst. Wehe, wenn ich mich in die Finger kriege. Ich bin mein eigener schlimmster Feind. Es
ist schlimm, wenn du dich selbst ankotzst, so nervig. Ich will nicht mehr meine Freundin sein. Ich will jemand anders sein. 2.) LA sagte zu mir: "Du wirst ein Popstar. Du musst dich nur komplett ändern." Ich habe es satt, mit der blöden Britney Spears verglichen zu werden. Sie ist so hübsch, ich bin eben nicht so wie sie. Doktor, Doktor, können Sie mir nicht was verschreiben?! Ein Tag im Leben von jemand anders.
"I bang my own drum Some think it's noise I think it's pretty" (I Am What I Am) "For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels." (My Way)
1) I am what I am I am my own special creation So come take a look Give me the hook Or the ovation It's my world That I want to have a little pride My world And it's not a place I have to hide in Life's not worth a dam Till I can say I am what I am 2)I am what I am I don't want praise I don't want pity I bang my own drum Some think it's noise I think it's pretty And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle Why not see things from a different angle Your life is a shame Till you can shout out I am what I am 3) I am what I am And what I am needs no excuses I deal my own deck Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces It's one life and there's no return and no deposit One life so it's time to open up your closet Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out I am what I am I am what I am I am what I am And what I am needs no excuses I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces It's one life and there's no return and no deposit One life so it's time to open up your closet Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out I am what I am I am I am I am good I am I am I am strong I am I am I am worthy I am I am I belong I am I am Who whoooo etc. I am I am I am I am useful I am I am I am true I am I am somebody I am as good as you Yes I am
1) Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore 2) I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are 3) Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care Chorus: I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are. Bridge: I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take 'till you believe in me The way that I believe in you. 4) I said I love you, and that's forever And this I promise from the heart I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are.
And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and ev'ry highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way". For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!
