I've always been caught in chains
I've always been told who to be
Who to be...
I've never had my own life
I've never had some little love
Love...
And now you got me begging please
And now you got me saying don't
Don't change me
Who to be
Choose from you and me
Who to be
It's so difficult
Who to be
Choose from you and me
Who to be
It's so difficult
[Rhythm]
You tried
You tried to show me the best you can do
Do...
Deny
I can't choose who to be
To be...
No regrets
It's not too late
Change it the way you want
No regrets
It's not too late
Change it the way you want
Who to be
Choose from you and me
Who to be
It's so difficult
Who to be
Choose from you and me
Who to be
It's so difficult
[Rhythm]
Pick a style

Pick a life
Pick anything you want
Pick a style
Pick a life
Woah-woah
Tryin' any kind of life
Of life...
