You be you and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
You be you and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together

In a room full of circles and squares
I sit and wonder
Does anybody dare to be different
I think if I were you and you were me
You'd see that we're the same
It's all a game ain't nothing changed
We're the same in the sense that
We need to be
L-O-V-E-D
Hypothetically love starts when you respect yourself
So tell me what you see
When you see you

You be you and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
You be you and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together

There's a man on the corner of nowhere and fifth
I wonder how he ended up like this
Without a dime to his name it's a shame
Um, um, um
He took a chance with the wrong friends
Got caught up to no good in a neighborhood
Where it's hard to survive, staying alive
Is a full time job
Living larger than the next guy

You be you and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
You be you and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together

Little girl with hopes and big dreams
Don't get swayed by those sex fiends
I understand that you want a man
But a real man will help you stand

You be you and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
You be you and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
