Lyrics

I was sitting down, all by myself

I was alone, seated, without company

Listening to everybody, everybody

Listening to everyone, all people

He ain't be like everybody else

He does not conform to the norm

Oh you see, I gotta be me

Expressing the need to be true to oneself

And there ain't nobody just like this

Asserting individuality, being unique

I gotta be me

Emphasizing the imperative to be authentic

Baby hit or miss

Whether successful or not, it's about being oneself


But then I looked at you just sitting there

Noticed someone else sitting alone

All by yourself

Similar situation, alone and observing

You listening to everybody, everybody

Emphasizing non-conformity

He ain't be like everybody else

Reiterating that the person doesn't conform to expectations

Oh, you see

Encouraging belief in oneself

You gotta believe

Stressing the importance of self-belief

And there ain't nobody just like this

Reaffirming individual uniqueness

You gotta believe

Reiterating the necessity of self-belief

Oh, baby hit or miss

Whether successful or not, stay true to oneself


I was sitting down, all by myself

Repetition of the initial situation

I was listening to everybody, everybody

Repeating the act of listening to others

He ain't be like everybody else

Restating the non-conformity of the person

Oh you see, I gotta be me

Reaffirming the need to be genuine

And there ain't nobody just like this

Highlighting individuality once again

I got to be me

Repeating the importance of being oneself

Oh, baby hit or miss

Regardless of success, be true to oneself

No there ain't nobody just like this

Emphasizing the uniqueness of the individual

I got to be me

Reiterating the necessity of authenticity

Oh, baby hit or miss

Whether successful or not, be genuine


I gotta be me

Restating the imperative to be oneself

Baby hit or miss

Success or failure, it's about being authentic

You've got to believe

Encouraging belief in oneself

Baby hit or miss

Success or failure, stay true to oneself

You've got to believe

Reiterating the importance of self-belief

In yourself

Believe in yourself, don't heed others' opinions

Don't listen to anybody else

Emphasizing self-reliance and independence

You got to believe

Reaffirming the need to believe in oneself

You got to believe

Repeating the call for self-belief

You got to believe

Reiterating the importance of self-belief

In yourself

Believe in yourself, ignore external opinions

Don't listen to nobody but yourself

Underlining the importance of self-trust

Yeah

Expressing agreement with oneself

Yourself

Emphasizing self-identity

Be yourself

Encouraging authenticity and being true to oneself

Be yourself

Repeating the call for self-authenticity

Like nobody else

Emphasizing individuality, being unlike others

Gotta believe

Stressing the importance of self-belief
