take me like you find me
don't try to change me
you know better than that
take me as you see me
don't try to hide me
I ain't used to that
shout it out loud
put a bomb in a crowd
if I got something to say
there's nothing that can stop me
I can't let it lay

if I have to fall on my head
every night of the week
it's gonna be my fault and no one else
if everything goes wrong
when I'm singing my song
it's gonna be my fault and no one else

there ain't nothing you can do about it
I've sat and thought it over
don't try to help me
I was just born this way

yes I was born this way
I ain't gonna change for nobody
ooh, never, never gonna change

so if everything goes wrong
and I drink all night
it's gonna be my fault and no one else
people don't change just over night
it ain't natural
so don't break it kindly, don't hypnotize me
I just won't understand
take me like you find me
don't try to change me
you know better than that

oh don't you know better than that
oh don't you know better than that

say I'm just a fool, that's alright
never try to change me or rearrange me, oh ye
