Who Says
Selena-Gomez Lyrics

I wouldn't wanna be anybody else
I am happy and satisfied with who I am and do not wish to be anyone else

You made me insecure
You caused me to feel less confident about myself

Told me I wasn't good enough
You said that I was not capable or deserving of achieving success or happiness

But who are you to judge
You do not have the authority or qualification to make decisions or criticize me

When you're a diamond in the rough
Despite your flaws and imperfections, you still have great potential and value

I'm sure you got some things
I understand and acknowledge that you also have areas in which you would like to improve

You'd like to change about yourself
You have personal goals and aspirations to better yourself

But when it comes to me
However, in regards to myself

I wouldn't want to be anybody else
I am content and proud of who I am and do not desire to be anyone else

Na na na
Vocalization conveying a playful, carefree attitude

You've got every right
You are deserving and entitled to

To a beautiful life
Live a fulfilling and enjoyable life

C'mon
Encouragement to take action

Who says
Questioning the authority or opinion of someone else

Who says you're not perfect
Who has the right to say that you are not complete or flawless?

Who says you're not worth it
Who said that you do not have value or do not deserve love and respect?

Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Who implies that you are alone in experiencing emotional pain?

Trust me
Believe me when I say

That's the price of beauty
Suffering or struggle is often a necessary part of achieving something valuable or desirable

Who says you're not pretty
Who decided that you are not attractive or attractive in your own unique way?

Who says you're not beautiful
Who claimed that you are not lovely or deserving of admiration?

It's such a funny thing
It is ironic and strange that

How nothing's funny when it's you
How even humor does not make you feel better when you are sad or insecure

You tell 'em what you mean
You express your thoughts and feelings honestly and directly

But they keep whiting out the truth
But others still try to hide or ignore the reality of your situation

It's like a work of art
It is comparable to a masterpiece

That never gets to see the light
That no one is allowed to see or appreciate

Keep you beneath the stars
Prevent you from reaching your full potential or achieving your dreams

Won't let you touch the sky
Do not allow you to have the freedom and success you deserve

Who says you're not star potential
Who claims that you do not have the talent or ability to be successful and famous?

Who says you're not presidential
Who implies that you do not have the leadership qualities to be a successful president?

Who says you can't be in movies
Who says that you are not talented or attractive enough to be an actor or actress?

Listen to me
Hear me out and give me a chance to speak

Who says you don't pass the test
Who says that you are not capable of meeting the standards and expectations of others?

Who says you can't be the best
Who says that you are not capable of excelling and being better than others?

Who said, who said
Rhetorical questioning of who previously stated negative things about you

Would you tell me who said that
I am asking those who have criticized me to reveal themselves and provide a justification for their words

Yeah, oh
Vocalization conveying a sense of empowerment and confidence
