Patti Austin - Let Me Be Me

I don't want to be always trying to make you see
I've listened to the doubts on your mind
You have to know that changes what will keeps us strong
And that my independence doesn't have to be wrong

Let me be me, whatever that means
Don't see this change as a threat on our love
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind
But no restrictions please, let me be me, let me be me

I'm choosing ways that sometime cause you pain
The girl that I once was is gone, now the woman remains
You feel in the truth what that I'm stronger than I was before
But baby that don't mean that I don't need you anymore

Let me be me, whatever that means
Don't see this change as a treat on our love
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind
But no restrictions please, let me be me, let me be me

Accused of not being myself, here's what I think about that
Nobody knows me better than I know me
Accused of not being myself, here's what I think about that
Nobody knows me better than I know me

Let me be me, whatever that means
Don't see this change as a threat on our love
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind
But no restrictions please, let me be me, let me be me

Whatever that means
Don't see this change as a threat on our love
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind
But no restrictions please, let me be me, let me be me

This ain't a threat on our love, baby
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind, oh
No restrictions please, let me be me
