You've Got To Be You

lyrics

YOU’VE GOT TO BE YOU
(Bergey)

Your parents want you to be a doctor
But you don’t want to be
You want to be an actor
They tell you what that’s worth

They put you through the whole college routine
For what seems twenty years
You find that you don’t like it
But now it’s way too late

Chorus:
Be what you want to be
Do what you want to do
It’s hard for you to see
That you’ve got to be you

Now you find yourself in your own practice
Watch TV when you can
Want to act in the movies
Run away from it all

Your parents want to see you as a nurse
But you don’t want to be
You want to be an actress
They tell you what that’s worth

Chorus:
Be what you want to be
Do what you want to do
It’s hard for you to see
That you’ve got to be you

Now you find yourself with a doctor who
Watches TV all day
Both want to be movie stars
Runaway together

Andrew’s albums are always unexpected, experimental, and ear-wormingly entertaining! ... more
