can't you see, this is me
can't you see, this is me
Don't walk crowded streets
choose every dream from a magazine stand
i don't buy into that
all-day tv shows
sell their souls just to make living easy
i don't buy into that
i don't need satin and lace, no no no
i'll bring a smile to your face
I'll never be a fire but i will be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake, no
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
can't you see that this is me
i'm all the woman that i wanna be
Can't you see, this is me (a woman)
can't you see, this is me
Good times can't get enough
life can be tough but it's all for a reason
i sure buy into that
life goes around and around
we seek what we found 'cause it's all an illusion
i sure buy into that
i know the waters of fate, yeah, yeah
will keep on flowing my way
I'll never be a fire but i will be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake, no no
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
baby can't you see that this is me
i'm all the woman that i want
I've never been affraid of myself
i don't buy into that, i don't buy into that
i don't wanna be nobody else
i don't buy into that, i don't buy into that, i don't buy into that
I'll never be a fire but i will be the flame (be the flame)
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake (oh no no no)
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
baby baby can't you see that this is me
i'm all the woman that i want (all i wanna be)
i'll never be a fire but i will be the flame (be the flame)
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake (oh no no no)
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
can't you see this is me
and i'm all the woman that i wanna be
