"Be What I Wanna" lyrics

"Be What I Wanna"

I don't know what's the matter with me
I take it down to the wire
Couldn't see the forest for the trees
Until I ran into the fire
Couldn't read the music on the stand
When I was in the choir
So I sang every note lookin' straight ahead
'Cause I don't wanna be a liar

I'm gonna do what I wanna do
And be what I wanna
I'm gonna go where I wanna go
And be what I wanna

Everywhere I go I take a look around
I always see the same thing
Deja vu in a brand new town
Makes you feel insane
Howlin' Wolf is the sweetest sound
Especially if it's rainin'
Tall trees are fallin' to the ground
And no one is complainin'

I'm gonna do what I wanna do
And be what I wanna
I'm gonna go where I'm gonna go
And be what I wanna

I always knew it could happen to me
Maybe I'm a little wiser
All I wanted was a little hot spring
But I ran into a geyser
And all I wanted was a little cute cat
Now the kitten is a tiger
Ain't it wild It's come to that
A little trial by fire

I'm gonna do what I wanna do
And be what I wanna
I'm gonna go where I wanna
And be what I wanna

'Til I ran into the fire
Maybe I'm a little wiser
Now the kitten is a tiger
