Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woah.
Whenever I'm dressed cool, my parents put up a fight.
(Uh huh, uh huh)
And if I'm hot shot, mom will cut my hair at night.
(Uh huh, uh huh)
In the morning, i'm short of my identity.
(Uh huh, uh huh)
I scream mom and dad why can't I be who I wanna be?
(Uh huh, uh huh)
To be!
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love, me for who I am.
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to know, I am my hair.
I've had enough, this is my prayer.
That I'll die living just as free as my hair.

Sometimes I waltz around put on red highlights.
(Uh huh, uh huh)
Just because I want my friends to think i'm dynamite.
(Uh huh, uh huh)
And on Friday rocks in, high school dance.
(Uh huh, uh huh)
I've got my bangs to hide, that I don't stand a chance.
(Uh huh, uh huh)
A chance!
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love me for who I am.
