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
