Song Lyrics

If I satisfy you
If you satisfy me
Once the course has been set
Gonna need all the help I can get but

You just gotta be you
I just gotta be me

I can't classify you
You can't pacify me
We can't make it at all
You won't even take my calls

I just wanna be loved
You just gotta be free
I'll smile and tell it to the world
You just gotta be

Pardon me for sayin'
What a price you've been payin'
What more can I say
You might feel different some day

If it matter to you
It still matters to me
You'll find me by the bayou
Thinkin' wicked thoughts of you

I just wanna be strong
You just gotta be wrong

I can't clarify you
You can't verify me
I can't make it by stealth
You won't even share the wealth so

You just gotta be you
I just gotta be me
And I will tell that to the world
You just gotta be

With a gratified mind
I'll be on the highway
Just as soon as I can
Where there's a will
There's a way so until then

I just wanna be me
And you just gotta be

Gordon Lightfoot
