I Gotta Be Me

I Gotta Be Me - Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme

Written by：Hamlisch/Kleban

Whether I'm right whether I'm wrong

Whether I find a place in this world or never belong

I've gotta be me I've gotta be me

What else can I be but what I am

I want to live not merely survive

And I won't give up this dream of life

That keeps me alive

I've gotta be me I'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 won't settle down or settle for less

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

I'll go it alone that's how it must be

I can't be right for somebody else if I'm not right for me

I've gotta be me I've gotta be me

Daring to try to do it or die I've gotta be me

I can't be right for somebody else if I'm not right for me

I've gotta be me I've gotta be me

Daring to try to do it or die

I've gotta be me
