Life has come a long way since yesterday, I say
And it's not the same old thing over again, I say
Just do what you feel and don't you fool yourself, I say
'Cause I can't make you happy unless I am, I say, I say I
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
Day in day out, I've asked many questions, I say
Only to find the truth it never changes, I say
If you don't deal with it it keeps killing you a little by little, I say
♪
Call me selfish if you will my life I alone can live, I say, I say I
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself, anyway now
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
♪
I don't care if it hurts
I'm tired of lies and all these games
I've reached a point in life
Eh, no longer can I be this way, don't come crying to me
I too have shed my share of tears
I'm moving on, yes I'm grooving on, well I'm finally free I've
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself, anyway ya'll
Got to be true to myself
Got to be true to myself
Come on now, got to be true
Got to be true, got to be true to myself
Anyway ya'll, got to be true
Got to be true, got to be true to myself
