I said forgive me for the lies that I have told
I said forgive me for my words are growing old
Everyone makes mistakes, I'm no exception to the rule
Oh oh oh, I just want to be my own kind of man
#VERSE
Ooh ooh, I want an escape from the confines that trap me
I want the freedom to be myself totally
I can’t always do what everyone expects of me
Oh oh oh, I just want to be my own kind of man, oh yeah
#BRIDGE

I'll take it easy even when the pressure's on
I'll do it my way and I'll finish when I'm done
I won't be a marionette oh oh oh, dancing on your strings
Oh oh oh, I’ll just stay here and be my own kind of man
#VERSE
Wo oh oh, I said forgive me for the lies that I have told
I said forgive me for the beliefs that I hold
I can’t always be the person needed at the time
Yeah-eh-ah, I'll just stay here
Leisurely while the world waits for me
But I refuse to see to anyone else’s needs
Wo oh, I'll just be my own kind of man, yeah yeah yeah yeah
#BRIDGE
