Judy Garland said it well

Never be a second rate version of somebody else

You′ve got your own two wings

And you can choose to fly or fall

Got a three room apartment in a run down part of town

There's a dream I′m chasin,' don't tell me to slow down

Everybody′s so quick with advice about who I′m suppose to be

But when it comes to me

I wont march in step, I'm gonna play right outta time

And when they say jump I wont ask how high

Love me, hate me, leave or take me

Just don′t make me change

Who says that sneakers can't go with a dress

Who says that singin′ in tune, is a thing of the past

Sometimes I've a got reckless side, lookin′ for a rule to break

Cause you can't get over the rainbow without makin' a few mistakes

I wont march in step, I′m gonna play right outta time

And when they say jump I wont ask how high

Love me, hate me, leave or take me

Just don′t make

Don't make, don′t make me change

Don't make, don′t make me change

Don't make, don′t make me change

Don't you make me

Don't make, don′t make me change

Don′t make, don't make me change

Don′t make, don't make me change

I′m gonna do my own thing

I wont march in step, I'm gonna play right outta time

And when they say jump I wont ask how high

Love me, hate me, leave or take me

Just don′t make me change

Don't make me change
