"Being Me" lyrics

I want to be loved
For just who I am
Not what you would like me to be
I want to be seen
Through the eyes of love
Not looking to find fault with me

Take me as I am
Or just turn around
Walk away 'cause I truly believe
It's all compromise
Love has three sides
There's an us, there's a you and a me

See me, be me
Long enough to know
Just how I feel
Know me, show me
The respect I deserve
And until

You realize
That I have the right
To let my true spirit run free
Oh, I'll walk alone
I'll carry on
With the business of being me

Where do you get off?
Who made you the boss?
We were meant to be sharing this love
Let's build on the best
Accepting the rest
Celebrating the difference in us

See me, be me
Long enough to know
Just how I feel
Know me, show me
The respect I deserve
And until

You realize
I won't be denied
In the life for your comfort and peace
I'll go it alone
I'll carry on
With the business of being me

I love you, I do
But I'll do without you

If I know you will never know me, know me
If you can't see you way
See me, see me
The business of being me
