Lyrics

Who are you to tell me how to look-- how to live-- or how to act
I’m not perfect—but unlike you there’s something good I don’t lack

Understanding and heart—I’ll always try to retain
Putting down—judging someone—tell me what do you gain

No—I don’t need to apologize
I don’t need to apologize for being me
No—no—not for being me

You know we’re all little children way down deep inside
Looking for acceptance—but got to hang on to our pride

No—I don’t need to apologize
I don’t need to apologize for being me
No—no—not for being me

Why’s it easy for you to step on other people because you can
Do you think that you’re really so much better than I am

Living life without prejudice—is it possible
Is what you see in your own mirror so impeccable

No—I don’t need to apologize
I don’t need to apologize for being me
No—no—not for being me
