C'mon and stand a little closer
Talk a little louder
Tell me what you're thinking

And I'll tell you it's alright
Baby, let me see you
Show me what you want to

You don't have to try
Baby just be yourself tonight


So many people out there are trying to talk in your ear
Tell you just who you oughta be
You've tried his way

And her way
And their way
And the world's way

But none of it seems to please

But nobody out there or anybody in here

Knows you better than you know yourself
So don't stop believing in all the things your dreaming
Get out there and find yourself


C'mon and stand a little closer
Talk a little louder

Tell me what you're thinking
And I'll tell you it's alright
Baby, let me see you

Show me what you want to
You don't have to try
Baby just be yourself tonight


Too many people out there
Trying to reach an ideal

That they saw in a magazine
Just cuz he said it she said it
Or I said it or we said it

Doesn't it kinda seem
Like we're all just pretending that
We know the perfect ending

When we don't even really know ourselves
But when nothing's for certain
It's only you you're hurting

When you try to be someone else

C'mon and stand a little closer

Talk a little louder
Tell me what you're thinking
And I'll tell you it's alright

Baby, let me see you
Show me what you want to
You don't have to try

Baby just be yourself tonight

I can see through all the things

You try to hide yourself behind
I wanna touch, I wanna taste
Don't be afraid to let me in

Just say what you feel
You're the one I want


So come a little closer
Talk a little louder
Tell me what you're thinking

And I'll tell you it's alright
Baby let me see you
Show me what you want to

You don't have to try
Baby just be yourself tonight


C'mon and stand a little closer
Talk a little louder
Tell me what you're thinking

And I'll tell you it's alright
Baby let me see you
Show me what you want to

But you don't have to try
Baby just be yourself tonight

Oh oh
Baby just be yourself tonight

Yeah yeah
Baby just be yourself tonight
