Dress me up in what you think is me,
Black shoes, jeans, and a crummy tee,
But that?s not always me.
You build me up and take me down,
Criticize me to the profound,
But that?s not always me.
Cause I?m exactly who,
I wanna be,
I?m only me,
No exceptions.
I dress how I want,
And don?t ever listen,
Just let me be,
So I can see what I?ve been missing? today.

Now you have me all dressed up,
It?s not me trust me,
It?s totally not me.
Not always clean shaven with long shaggy hair,
Stupid clothes that never match,
Well maybe that last parts me. (Of course it is)

Cause I?m exactly who,
I wanna be,
I?m only me,
No exceptions.
I dress how I want,
And don?t ever listen,
Just let me be,
So I can see what I?ve been missing? today.

(Clothes, clothes, clothes) Look on the inside,
(Clothes, clothes, clothes) Look at what?s right,
(Clothes, clothes, clothes) Look close at my feelings,
(Clothes, clothes, clothes) While I stare at my stone white ceiling.

Cause I?m exactly who,
I wanna be,
I?m only me,
No exceptions.
I dress how I want,
And don?t ever listen,
Just let me be,
So I can see what I?ve been missing? today.
