Lyrics:
Going out with a group of guys that I
Don’t really know that well but I
Really wanna make a good impression
Then one of them says to me alright
Will you watch the football match tonight
And I think he can tell from my expression
That I’m just a phoney
I’m not a man
I wanna give him what he wants from me
But there’s little issue I can see
I gotta be me
And I think that you’ll agree
That’s not ideal situation
Saying things I say
Doing it my way
Oh it’s a subprime combination
Your vibe is not desired
When clubbing makes you tired
And you stop on your second drink
Wish that I was you
There’s nothing I can do
I gotta be me
I gotta be
There’s a girl I wanna notice me so I
Stand near her awkwardly cus I’m
Pretty sure that chicks get hot for that
Never start a conversation
Save it for my imagination
Forget how to stand so I look a bit like a twat
But wait a minute
She’s asked me out
I get to talk to her and find what she’s about
Gotta nail it, play it cool
But there’s just one problem with that
I gotta be me
And I think you can see
It’s not what anybody wanted
Awkward to a tee
I need a nervous wee
I’ve gone so white she thinks I’m haunted
Staring at my food I’m
Accidentally rude why
Did I bring up World War 2
Wish I wasn’t here
Wanna disappear
But I gotta be me
I gotta be!
And I know that I’m not confident
I’m socially incompetent
And I’m sorry that I didn’t watch the game
But I don’t think that I’m the one to blame
And I’d rather spend the evening on my own
There’s a reason why I chose to live alone
I get to be me
Entirely for free
And I think that’s rather crazy
Not for everyone
But I think I’m kind of fun
I don’t care what you are saying
I find jokes amazing
Into my eyes I’m gazing
Yeah I would and I have
Don't wanna be a dick
But it’s really kinda sick
That I getta be me
I get getta be!
I get to be me! Woah!

Hello 👋 I support you on Patreon for your other channel. I just wanna say I discovered this a few months back and I wanna ask - no I BEG you make a Patreon page for this channel. Even if only few people support it you pour heart into your songs and it SHOWS. PLEASE tell me there is some other way to financially support you to see more of this!!! This really is one of a kind.

Hey mate, that's so nice of you! And thanks for supporting my Patreon too. I think seeing as I have 30 Patrons from 700k subs on my comedy channel, if I made a music Patreon it might just be me and you haha. But I could potentially add a music tier to my current Patreon. I do record a lot of music demos so could put them on there. But yeah, thanks for your kind words!
