I've Got To Be Me Lyrics

Al Martino

Whether IÂ'm right, whether IÂ'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
IÂ've gotta be me, IÂ've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am?

I want to live, not merely survive
And I wonÂ't give up this dream of life
That keeps me alive
IÂ've gotta be me, IÂ've gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am

That faraway prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I wonÂ't settle down or settle for less

As long as thereÂ's half a chance that I can have it all

IÂ'll go it alone, thatÂ's how it must be
I canÂ't be right for somebody else if IÂ'm not right for me
IÂ've gotta be me, IÂ've gotta be me
Daring to try to do it or die, IÂ've gotta be me

I canÂ't be right for somebody else if IÂ'm not right for me
IÂ've gotta be me, IÂ've gotta be me
Daring to try to do it or die,
IÂ've gotta be me
