You Just Gotta Be Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

If I satisfy you 

If you satisfy me 

Once the course has been set 

Gonna need all the help I can get but 

You just gotta be you 

I just gotta be me 

I can't classify you 

You can't pacify me 

We can't make it at all 

You won't even take my calls 

I just wanna be loved 

You just gotta be free 

I'll smile and tell it to the world 

You just gotta be 

Pardon me for sayin' 

What a price you've been payin' 

What more can I say 

You might feel different some day 

If it matter to you 

It still matters to me 

You'll find me by the bayou 

Thinkin' wicked thoughts of you 

I just wanna be strong 

You just gotta be wrong 

I can't clarify you 

You can't verify me 

I can't make it by stealth 

You won't even share the wealth so 

You just gotta be you 

I just gotta be me 

And I will tell that to the world 

You just gotta be 

With a gratified mind 

I'll be on the highway 

Just as soon as I can 

Where there's a will 

There's a way so until then 

I just wanna be me 

And you just gotta be
