Ahh
I know that you love me
Ahh
I'll be there when you need me
You are the one who stood by my side
When all my so called friends tried to mess with my life and
They tried to bring my dreams to an end
But when they try to knock me down I get up again
No they see me as a star on the screen
But they're not the same know as they use to be
I don't know what they want from me
I don't care, ah ha that's the way it's gotta be, yeah
I don't need anyone
To tell me I'm wrong, I know that you love me
I don't care what they say
You were there from the start
I'll be there when you need me
So why do they always have something to say
I don't know, I guess they think they understand me
Why do they think they can treat me this way
It's my life, they don't control me, no
You are the one who always believed
When I tried to be myself, they would laugh at me
But they don't understand the way that I feel
You were the only one, who ever knew me for real
Now they see me as a star on the screen
But they're not the same now as they use to be
I don't know what they want from me
I don't care ah ha, that's the way it's got to be yeah
I don't need anyone
To tell me I'm wrong, I know that you love me
I don't care what they say
You were there from the start
I'll be there when you need me
So why do they always have something to say
I don't know, I guess they think they understand me
Why do they think they can treat me this way
I don't want to see them 'cause I can't believe them
They were not the ones who were there for me
When I needed them
I don't understand what they want from me
I don't care, ah ha, that's the way it's got to be
I don't need anyone to tell me that I am wrong, I know that you love me
I don't care what they say
You were there from the start
I'll be there when you need me
[Chorus]
So why do they always have something to say
I don't know, I guess they think they understand me
Why do they think they can treat me this way
