(Dolly Parton) |
|
If you hear me crying in the night |
|
Pretend that you don't hear me it's alright |
|
Don't ask me why |
|
I'm crying, please don't make a sound |
|
I don't know why, it's just the way |
|
I amAnd if you think |
|
I act a little strange |
|
And you don't understand when |
|
I do things |
|
Like running through the fields while the rain is pouring down |
|
I don't know why, it's just the way |
|
I amAnd even though you may not understand me |
|
I hope that you'll accept me like |
|
I amFor there are many sides of me, my mind and spirit must be free |
|
And I might smile when other folks would frown |
|
I don't know why, it's just the way |
|
I amI might go out chasing butterflies |
|
And if I fail to catch one |
|
I might cry |
|
And if you want me you might find me in the meadow walking 'round |
|
I don't know why, it's just the way |
|
I amI might be home and busy cleaning house |
|
And in the middle of my work |
|
I might go out |
|
And go play games with children at the playground |
|
It makes me happy, and that's just the way |
|
I amAnd even though you may not understand me |
|
I hope that you'll accept me like |
|
I amFor there are childish sides of me |
|
My mind and spirit must be free |
|
I might smile when you think |
|
I should frown |
|
I don't know why, it's just the way |
|
I am |
