They can play let's pretend
Make em like them my best friend
tellin their lies
And they can scheme behind my back
Make fiction not a fact
try to re-write my life

but they aint got a clue
if i were in their shoes
i shut right up

Take me as I am
Or not at all
I ain't ever gonna change myself for no one
No compromise
'Cause it's my life
It's all or nothing.

They can laugh all they like
got no need to justify

I am who i am
and they can do their worst if they dare
If it makes them happy we don't care
It's out of their hands


Cause they aint got a clue
If we were in their shoes
We would just shut right up

Take us as we are
Or not at all
We ain't ever gonna change ourselves for no one
No comprosmise 'cause it's our life
It's all or nothing.

Take me as I am
Or not at all
I aint ever gonna change myself for no one
Not compromise 'cause it's my life
It's all or nothing
