When You Are Who You Are

Lyrics

You always go out of your way to impress me
 Don't you know by now, ain't no need to impress me?
 I'm impressed every time you smile
 When I feel like you mean to smile
 'Cause you can be so very beautiful
 When you are who you are
 ♪
 Every morning when you wake up
 You put on a new disguise
 How long did you think
 It would take me to realize?
 Girl, the things you wore ain't real
 You never tell me just how you feel
 Girl, you can be so very beautiful
 When you are who you are
 
 People never seem to want to be themselves
 So they end up running in circles confused
 Yes, confused
 Just like everyone else
 C'mon Alberto

 Every morning when you wake up
 You put on a new disguise
 Just how long did you think it would take me to realize
 Oh, that the things you wore ain't real?
 You never tell me just how you feel
 When you could be so very beautiful
 When you are who you are
 Yeah, when you are who you are, yeah
 Oh, when you are who you are, yeah
 Oh, when you are who you are, yeah
 When you are who you are
 Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it
 Oh, when you are who you are, yeah
 Oh, when you are who you are, yeah
 Oh, when you are who you are, yeah
 Oh, when you are who you are
