Proud As Hell

[Verse 1]
Had a crush on a girl in middle school
But it wasn't big so I kept my cool
And pushed it down way inside of me
Flash forward a few years, here I am
Fallin' head over heels in love again
But now I know and I'm just gonna be

[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I know
They say it's just a phase
But I, I know
This is more than a craze
And they don't matter

[Chorus]
So I'm gonna love who I'm gonna love
And you don't get to tell me that I'm wrong
Cuz love ain't wrong
I'm gonna be who I'm gonna be
And you don't get to tell me that's not me
Cuz I know me
Whether it's you or him or her or them
I'm gonna love who I love
And Imma be proud as hell

[Verse 2]
I look at you, I have to smile
Cuz I'vе been waiting a long, long while
For someone who makеs me feel the way you do
And they may hate me for my love
But I'm just gonna rise above
Cuz love is love, and always will come through

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, now they know
That I don't give a single damn what they think
Now, now they know
They can't force our float to sink
Cuz we're too strong

[Chorus]
So I'm gonna love who I'm gonna love
And you don't get to tell me that I'm wrong
Cuz love ain't wrong
I'm gonna be who I'm gonna be
And you don't get to tell me that's not me
Cuz I know me
Whether it's you or him or her or them
I'm gonna love who I love
And Imma be proud as hell

[Bridge]
And they can try to ban us, but we won't stop
We're gonna keep on going 'til we reach the top
Of the mountain that they made for us to climb
Ooh whoa oh
And though it might be raining, oh, it might storm
We're gonna keep on going 'til we break the norm
And a rainbow will no longer be a crime
Ooh whoa oh

[Chorus]
So I'm gonna love who I'm gonna love
And you don't get to tell me that I'm wrong
Cuz love ain't wrong

Now baby love who you're gonna love
And no one gets to tell you that you're wrong
Cuz you're not wrong
I'm gonna be who I'm gonna be
And you don't get to tell me that's not me
Cuz I know me
Whether it's you or him or her or them
Or someone else from another planet
I'm gonna love who I love
And Imma be proud as hell

[Outro]
Try to ban us, but we won't stop
We're gonna keep on going 'til we reach the top
Proud as hell
Where a rainbow will no longer be a crime
Ooh whoa oh
Imma be proud as hell
