Be Like You
Jenna Raine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s gonna come to the light
Put the mirror to your face and smile
And tell me is that really you?
I know your life, don't get to choose
But you can with the things you do
Knowing when′s the right time to walk away
Different frame
Could you be the bigger person
When you get emotional?
Well, maybe you should think twice
Would you wanna be like you?
How you gonna reply
Would you wanna be like you?
Ain't no reason to be mean like
Would you wanna be like you?
Get up, but if you fall down
Make sure that it ain't for long
Treat their heart like it′s your own
So think twice, would you wanna be like you?
Besides
There′s freedom in doing right
And a million different ways to try
So show 'em what you′re really like
I know your life, don't get to choose
But you can with the things you do
Knowing when′s the right time to walk away
Put the picture in a different frame
Different frame
Could you be the bigger person
When you get emotional?
Well, maybe you should think twice
Would you wanna be like you?
How you gonna reply
Would you wanna be like you?
Ain't no reason to be mean like
Would you wanna be like you?
Get up, but if you fall down
Make sure that it ain′t for long
Treat their heart like it's your own
So think twice, would you wanna be like you?
Be like you
Well, maybe you should think twice
Would you wanna be like you?
How you gonna reply
Would you wanna be like you?
Ain't no reason to be mean like
Would you wanna be like you?
Get up, but if you fall down
Make sure that it ain′t for long
Treat their heart like it′s your own
So think twice, would you wanna be like you?
