Million kids out there like me
On the dance floor wanna be free
Something 'bout getting lost in the crowd
You can't hear problems cause the music's too loud
I don't care what people be sayin'
I'm gonna do things my own way
Original, no zerox copy
Leader, not a follower, so back up off me

CHORUS:
If you're from the rhythm nation lemme hear you all say hey ya
Join in on the conversation put your two cents in say hey ya
Mixed up and I think I like it
Mixed up and I think I like it
Mixed up and I think I like it
Feel so different I'm cool with it

I don't worry bout tryin' to fit in
Long as you're cool we can be friends
I'm a little bit of this little bit that
Best of both worlds all over the map
I'm just a regular guy
I ain't even gonna lie
I'm trying to figure it out
What this life thing's all about

Chorus

Why you gotta place me in a category
I'm just trying to be me and that's all I can be
It's only half the story but if you read to the end
Maybe then you'll begin to understand me

Chorus
