This is my life and it's my right to live

The way I want to live each day

That's what I wanna say

And this is my song

And for too long I sang someone else's melody

It wasn't really me

Somehow I took myself for granted

In someone else's eyes

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise

Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized

I can't love you, I can't love me through someone else's eyes

You were the sun, I was the one who just

Revolved around you day and night

You were my only life but if I were free

Baby, I'd take control of everything inside of me

Find who I wanna be

I'd never take myself for granted

In someone else's eyes

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise

Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized

I can't love you, I can't love me in someone else's eyes

I gotta show myself I can still exist without a man

Gotta finally take control, gotta see myself as whole with you

Though you're not the one to blame, I was lost inside your name

And I'll never be the same till I find a way back home again

In someone else's eyes

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise

Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized

When I, I can't, I and I will not, you can't make me

Ooh, someone else's eyes, ooh, baby, baby, baby

Till I find a way back home again

Through someone else's eyes

I saw reflections of a girl I was, hey, caught me by surprise

Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized

I can't love you, I can't love you through someone else's eyes, ooh

Someone else's eyes, no baby, ooh

Someone else's eyes, can't do it, I can't do it

I, I love you, sweet baby, I wanna be with you, baby

Through someones else's eyes, ooh

Someone else's eyes, oh, baby

Oh yeah, someone else's eyes

I wanna be by your side

God haven't you heard this lady's cry?
