barry mcguire - let me be lyrics

[verse 1]
please don’t mistake me or try to make me
a shadow of anybody else
i’m not the him or her you think i am
i’m just tryin’ hard to be myself
yeah, society’s goal is to be part of the whole
it may sound good to you, not to me

[chorus]
ah, let me be, let me be
to think like i want to
let me be, let me be
that’s all i ask of ya
i am what i am, and that’s all i ever can be

[verse 2]
don’t try to plan me or understand me
i can’t stand to be understood
i can never live up to or ever give in to
bein’ like you think i should
i’ve got some inner need that i’m tryin’ to heed
i can’t take hand+me+down destiny

[chorus]
ah, let me be, let me be
to think like i want to
let me be, let me be
that’s all i ask of ya
i am what i am, and that’s all i ever can be
[verse 3]
don’t try to change me or rearrange me
to satisfy the selfishness in you
i’m not a piece of clay to mold your needs each day
and i’m not a p+wn to be told how to move
i’m sorry i’m not the fool you thought would play by your rules
but to each his own philosophy

[chorus]
ah, let me be, let me be
to think like i want to
let me be, let me be
that’s all i ask of ya
i am what i am, and that’s all i ever can be

[outro]
i said that’s all i ever can be
yeah, that’s all i ever can be
i said that’s all i ever can be
yeah, that’s all i ever can be
