DIFFERENT

Just like everybody else, I'm different.
Just like you, I gotta be me.
We might be night and day,
But we're similar in one way,
We've all been blessed with individuality,
(What's that mean?)
Takes all kinds of colors to make up the rainbow,
It takes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday to make a week.
And just in case there's one more word you don't know,
Let me explain about being unique.
Just like everybody else, I'm different.
You gotta be you, I gotta be me.
Yeah, just like everybody else, I'm different.
That's the way it was meant to be.
You gotta be you (you gotta be you),
I gotta be me. (That's different.)
That's different!
