V1. I’m tired of being a mother
I’m tired of being a wife
I’m tired of singing the same old songs
It’s time to brighten up my life
I’m sick of boring housework
I’d rather do something else
A new job, new lover, new anything
I just want something for myself
CH: I gotta be me, I gotta be me, I gotta be me I gotta be me, mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm hhhmmmmmmm.
V2. I’m tired of gettin called lazy
‘cos my work doesn’t bring in much dough
don’t criticize me like I am a child
you’d miss me if I were to go
I go to work in the evening
The boss is on my case
Both work and home feel like battlefields
I need to find a peaceful place.
CH: I gotta be me, I gotta be me, I gotta be me,
I gotta be me, mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm hhhmmmmmmmmm
Br: Leave me alone
I can manage alone
Leave me...leave me a - looooooone
V3. I’m gonna sleep in every morning
I’m gonna stay up every night
I’ll leave the dishes pile up in the sink
I’ts gonna feel oh so right.
I won’t need your permission
To have a bit of fun
And when you’re ready to love me as I am
Back into your arms I will run.
CH: I gotta be me, I gotta be me, I gotta be me (fading)
I gotta be me.
