Listen, all you people
Don't you be fooled by what you see
There is no rule
There is on reason
All you can be what they want you to be
'Cause everybody's got a heart that knows the truth
Oh yes you do now
You can't be nobody else, no
You gotta be yourself
Got to, Got to, Got to be yourself
You can't be no one else
And when you love you love somebody
For what they are, not what you need
Invisible communication
Feeds the motion so naturally
'Cause everybody's got a heart that knows the truth
Tryin' to tell you
You can't be nobody else, no
(You got to) be yourself
You got to be yourself
You got to be yourself
You can't be no one else
Be yourself
Why should you deceive yourself?
Got to, Got to, Got to be yourself
You can't be no one else
You know what you've got to do
(Feet on the ground, don't you give it up, both feet on the ground)
Keep your feet on the ground
(K-k-keep your feet on the ground, don't you give it up, both feet on the ground)
Don't let nothin' turn you around
(Feet on the ground, don't you give it up, both feet on the ground)
(K-k-keep your feet on the ground, don't you give it up, both feet on the ground)
Invisible communication
(When you love you love somebody for what they are not what you need)
Just love
(Why should you deceive yourself?)
There is no reason
Be yourself
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta be yourself
You got to be yourself
You got to be yourself
You can't be no one else
Be yourself
Why should you deceive yourself?
Got to, Got to, Got to be yourself
You can't be no one else
