not the way

Who i am
makes me who i wanna be
that's the plan
but it never works that way

there'll be laughter in the air
when i roam
there'll be changes in the way
the world turns

oh!
its not the way you look,
or that way you speak
its the things you do
to be you
its not the way you dress
to fit in to be cool
its not the things you say
its the way you say it
with feeling from the heart

cos it smells nice
i've been wearing mens cologne
and my checkered shirt
they say i look like a hobo

i dont care
its who i really am
its my hair
too notty too blonde all i can do

oh!
its not the way you look,
or that way you speak
its the things you do
to be you
its not the way you dress
to fit in to be cool
its not the things you say
its the way you say it
with feeling from the heart
