Oh people put me down because of the way I sing

They don't seem to realize I'm just doing my own thing

And if I dance around and I act like a clown

It's just when I'm feeling down, so please don't you frown

To those who criticize, it comes as no surprise

It's easy to see that you don't wanna be entertained

Why, many times I've tried but I've denied myself

For being myself and that's all I wanted to be

So how can you say that I'm being someone else?

You don't know me, do you know who you are yourselvеs?

To those who criticize, it comes as no surprisе

It's easy to see that you don't wanna be entertained

To those who compare, well I don't really care

You're not really the ones who are to blame

To those who criticize, it comes as no surprise

It's easy to see that you don't wanna be entertained

To those who compare, well I don't really care

You're not really the ones who are to blame

So listen one more time and if my lines don't rhyme

Please forgive me, I'm just doing my best, please believe me

And if our band's too loud, please don't put them down

The reason we're here is we're trying to please you, I said you, yeah you

To those who criticize, it comes as no surprise

It's easy to see that you don't wanna be entertained

To those who compare, well I don't really care

You're not really the ones who are to blame

You're not really the ones who are to blame

You're not really the ones who are to blame

You're not really the ones who are to blame, oh no

You're not really the ones who are to blame

You're not really the ones who are to blame
