  • And baby don't follow their lead
    'Cause you never know
    Just how the story ends, or how the story goes
    And you are so confused
    And baby it's just like you
    To say anything else

    Whenever you get this way
    Just getting up for the let down
    Mmm here they come, and yes they're here to stay
    Just getting up for the let down

    Oh I'm here to say that you're the star you want to be
    Just open up and look inside and you will see, yeah

    Someday you'll sing it out loud
    One day this will make you proud
    Whoa oh, "I know"
    Whoa oh-oh

    And baby don't follow their lead
    'Cause you never know
    Just how the story ends, or how the story goes
    And you are so confused
    And baby its just like you
    To say anything else

    It's time for you to understand
    Stop getting up for the let down
    Oh, who you are is not up to them
    Stop getting up for the let down

    And I'm here to say that you're the star you want to be
    Just open up and look inside, you will see it

    Someday you'll sing it out loud
    One day this will make you proud
    Whoa oh, "I know"
    Whoa oh

    Someday you'll sing it out loud
    One day this will make you proud
    Whoa oh, "I know"
    I know it's never good enough

    So say what you want
    You gotta mean it when you say what you want
    And everybody's on your mind
    Saying anything to get you by

    And so to get what you want
    You gotta mean it
    When you say what you want
    You're wasting everybody's time
    Just saying anything that gets you by

    It's not, not, not gonna get you
    G-gonna get you by

    Some day you'll sing it out loud
    One day this will make you proud
    Whoa oh, "I know"
    "I know" is never good enough

    Someday you'll sing it out loud
    One day this will make you proud
    Whoa oh, "I know"
    Whoa oh
    Whoa oh, "I know"
    "I know" Is never good enough Writer/s: Joseph Pepper, Kevin Sanders, Nicolas Hudson, Ryan Roberts, William Pugh
