You Can Only Be You

You Can Only Be You - Thomas & Friends/Mattel

Lyrics by：Andrew Brenner/Oliver Davis

Every engine that I ever knew

Was at least a little different from the others

And somewhere very very different too

Even from their sisters and their brothers

You can only be you

There's nothing else you can possibly do

It's clear to me that you're trying too hard

So instead just be who you are

I don't wanna be me

You wish you could be

Faster bigger stronger

You wish you could have more

Than six small wheels

You think if you were just a little longer

You'd have more railway show appears

Of course

Every bit of me is short and stumpy

My funnel and my boiler and my dome

Can't you see my paintwork's old and frampy

That's why I'll be the one who's left at home

Why do I have to be me

Is this what I'm really meant to be

Break me shake me

Take me all apart

There has to be a

Better place to start

Every bit of

You is neat and tidy

There's nothing that you

Need to rearrange

If you ask me

You're completely bona-fide

What makes you think there's anything to change

Why do I have to be me

Is this what I'm really meant to be

Calm down be quiet

You know in your heart

There really isn't any other place to start

Why do I have to be me

You can only be you

Is this what I'm really meant to be

There's nothing else you can do

Break me shake me

Take me all apart

And find a better place to start

You don't have to try

Just be who you are

And trust you six small wheels to take you far
