I've Gotta Be Me Songtext
von The Temptations

Whether I′m right
Whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world
Or never belong

I′ve gotta be me
I've gotta be me
What else can I be
But, but what I am

I wanna live
Not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream of life
That keeps me alive

I′ve gotta be me
I′ve gotta be me
The dream that I see
Makes me what I am


That far away prize
A world of success
Is waiting for me
If I heed the call
I won't settle down
Or settle for less
As long as there′s half a chance
That I can have it all

I'll go it alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone
That′s how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I′m not right for me

I've got to be free
I've just got to be free
Daring to try
To do it or die
I′ve gotta be
I′ve just gotta be me
Oh-oh-oh-oh, me

Let's hear it from Mr. Paul Williams
Ladies and gentlemen
Mr. Paul Williams, take a bow
