This Is Me
Climie & Fisher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wear a disguise
I know you'd see right through it.
Oh
What you see with your naked eyes
Is the heart of me - that's what I am.
I will not compromise
What I say is what I mean.
This is me - so don't try and change it.
This is real - so don't rearrange it.
And don't hold a gun to my heart
Not unless you're ready to use it.
If you think you can tear me apart
Take a shot
I won't refuse it.
This is me - so don't try and change it.
This is real - so don't rearrange it.
This is me - find someone else!
This is me - don't try and change it.
What you see with your naked eyes
Is the heart of me - that's what I am.
I will not compromise
I don't like living lies
What I say is what I mean.
This is me - don't try and change it.
This is real - don't rearrange it
Find someone else!
This is me - don't try and change it
Find someone else!
This is real - don't rearrange it.

Everything remains a standout album of the 1980a . Criminally underrated this slice of pop magic combines rifts and melodies that stay with you and lyrics that continue to have meaning to those who really listen

Cant believe this has less than 12k views yet a panda sneezing has billions. Brilliant song reminding us all to be ourselves in life and dont let partners or anyone else change who we are. Was apt to me when I first heard it 30 odd years ago and still is today
