Who cares what they think?
Who cares what they say?
Who cares what they do?
Live your life your own way

The lovers
The haters
The friends
The family

No one is holding you down
No one is stopping you now

Be yourself
No one else
Be who you want
Not what they are

Buy a cookie
Who's counting calories?
Wear jeans
Who needs designer clothes?
Drive a pickup truck
Who needs a BMW?
Jump into the creek
Who needs a personal pool?

Take a chance
Find yourself
This is me
This could be you
We are all just individuals
