be who you are

The Kooks

You don't know who you are
The road's gonna take you, make you walk too far

You're a liar, you're a thief, you're a star
But you don't know who you are

You are just a kid with a sentimental heart
Afraid of what would happen before you ever start
And you don't need the baggage and you don't need the stuff
And you don't need nobody to fill your empty cup

Ta, ta, ta
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Baby you're a star
Ta, ta, ta

Never give up, Coltrane
Never be a slave to your own name
You're a poet, you're a fake, you're a star
But you don't know who you are

We could shine a light here inside the dark
And get a little closer, lonely spark
There's nothing left to win and you could only lose
What's keeping you from doing what you always wanna do

Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Baby you're a star
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are

Lately I've been feeling
Like the stars were rolling out for me
Stars were rolling out
Lately I've been feeling
But the stars were rolling out for me
Stars were rolling out
But maybe they're misleading
Is it just a light reflecting off the street?

And you are just a kid with a sentimental heart
And do it for yourself and do it for the art
You don't need the baggage, you don't need the stuff
You don't need nobody to fill your empty cup

Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Be, be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Baby you're a star
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Baby you're a star
Ta, ta, ta
