How do even begin You're all up under my skin Before I speak I hear you instead Do ya think you could leave a little air i could breathe Can't get your voice out of my head Is there nothing you don't know every thing about All this "I told you so" is something i can live without CHORUS: You tell me how to think and you tell me how to live you tell me how to take and you tell me how to give I guess you wrote that book on what a girl's supposed to be But you dont know what it like to be me To be me, to be me what its like to be me Yeah So have you ever been wrong Can you remember that long Or should I rephrase that question Can you look at yourself like you do with everyone else Can I make one suggestion Just for once in your life, could you listen to someone else I know you might get confused hearing someone beside your self CHORUS: You tell me how to think and you tell me how to live You tell me how to take, and tell me how to give I guess you wrote that book on what a girl's supposed to be But you dont know what it like to be me To be me, to be me what its like to be me Yeah I think its time to take a position Do I have to scream out or sign a petition-to get you to listen yeah o get you to listen yeah CHORUS: You tell me how to think and you tell me how to live You tell me how to take, and tell me how to give I guess you wrote that book on what a girl's supposed to be But you dont know what it like to be me To be me, to be me what its like to be me You dont know what its like to be me CHORUS: You tell me how to think and you tell me how to live You tell me how to take, and tell me how to give I guess you wrote that book on what a girl's supposed to be But you dont know what it like to be me To be me, to be me what its like to be me yeahhh TO BE ME
