GIL SCOTT-HERON lyrics : "When You Are Who You Are"

You always go out of your way to impress me
Don't you know by now, ain't no need to impress me
I'm impressed every time you smile

When I feel like you mean to smile

You can be so very beautiful

When you are who you are

Every morning when you wake up you put on a new disguise

How long did you think it would take me to realize?
Girl, the things you wore ain't real
You never tell me just how you feel


Girl you can be so very beautiful
When you are who you are


People never seem to want to be themselves
So they end up running in circles confused

Yeah, confused
Just like everyone else


Every morning when you wake up you put on a new disguise
Just how long did you think it would take me to realize
That the things you wore ain't real

You never tell me just how you feel

When you could be so very beautiful

When you are who you are
Yeah, when you are who you are, yeah
Oh, when you are who you are, yeah

When you are who you are, yeah
When you are who you are
Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it


When you are who you are, yeah
Oh when you are who you are, yeah

Oh when you are who you are, yeah
Oh when you are who you are
