Be you


Hey I have something to say to you 

You're so cute 

Its hard to compute 

And I love you 

For being you 

Yes you

The one staring at me 

I want you to be 

The way you want to be 

Not just for me 

For you

Its true 

I do love you

But I want you 

To be you 

I want it to be true 

I want you to be true for yourself 

Not for someone else 

I want you to be true to yourself 

And maybe this will help:

I love you 

Its true 

I want you to be you 

Yes I do 

But I want you to be you 

For yourself 

Nobody else 

You shouldn't care 

What they say 

You're perfect in your own way 

Today I want to say 

I love you 

For you 

I don't care what others say

'Cause I love you for who you want to be 

And that's perfect to me.
