YOU BE YOU (BUT LET ME BE ME)
(Seger Ellis)

Louis Jordan - 1945
Nat King Cole Trio - 1946


You be you and do whatever you want to
You be you, but let me be me

Run your life and live however you want to,
Run your life, but leave mine to me

You can't pull no rabbits
Out of nobody's hat
Tryin' to change my habits
Would take a lot more magic than that

So let me be and be yourself if you want me
You be you, but let me be me
Or baby, there won't be no you and me
