Can't you see, this is me
Can't you see, this is me

Don't walk crowded streets
Choose every dream from a magazine stand
I don't buy into that
All day TV shows
Sell their souls just to make living easy
I don't buy into that

I don't need satin and lace, no, no, no
I'll bring a smile to your face

I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake, no
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Can't you see that this is me
I'm all the woman that I want to be

Can't you see, this is me (a woman)
Can't you see, this is me

Good times, I can't get enough
Life can be tough but it's all for a reason
I sure buy into that
Life goes 'round and around
We seek what we found 'cause it's all an illusion
I sure buy into that

I know the waters of fate, yeah, yeah
Will keep on flowing my way, yeah

I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake, no no
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Baby, can't you see that this is me
I'm all the woman that I want

I've never been afraid of myself
I don't buy into that, I don't buy into that
I don't want to be nobody else
I don't buy into that, I don't buy into that
I don't buy into that

I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame (be the flame)
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake (oh, no, no, no)
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Baby, baby, can't you see that this is me
I'm all the woman that I want (all I want to be)
I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame (I will be the flame)
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake (no no no no)
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Can't you see this is me
And I'm all the woman that I want to be

I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame (yeah, yeah)
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake (oh, no, no, no)
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Yeah, baby, can't you see that this is me
I'm all the woman that I want to be
I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame
