Charlie Puth
The Way I Am (Acoustic)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, maybe I'ma get a little anxious
Maybe I'ma get a little shy
'Cause everybody's tryna be famous
And I'm just tryna find a place to hide
All I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
I don't even know how to explain this
I don't even think I'm gonna try

[Pre-Chorus]
And that's okay
I promise myself one day

[Chorus]
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am

[Post-Chorus]
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'ma get a little nervous
Maybe I don't go out anymore
Feelin' like I really don't deserve this
Life ain't nothing like it was before
'Cause all I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
If you go and look under the surface
Baby, I'm a little insecure

[Pre-Chorus]
And that's okay
I promise myself one day

[Chorus]
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am

[Post-Chorus]
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
[Refrain]
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am

[Bridge]
Am, am
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted
I am, am, am
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted all along
Ohh

[Breakdown]
Everybody's tryna be famous
What was it? haha

[Chorus]
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
Yeah
[Post-Chorus]
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am

[Refrain]
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
Da, da, da, da, da
