lyrics

People gather 'round me everywhere
Out of curiosity they can't help but stare
They wanna be sure, yeah they wanna be sure

Me I smile and I welcome them with love
I must look like something from above
Can't blame 'em too much, yeah, they wanna be sure
They gotta be sure

A woman stops me right out on the street
Screaming evil language that I can't repeat
Can't blame her too much
That poor woman looked scared

When people see me, they can't believe their eyes
To them I resemble a secondhand disguise
But I gotta be me
Come on, come on, you're welcome to see
I gotta be me
I gotta be me
I gotta be me
I gotta be me
I gotta be me
I gotta be me
I gotta be me
