Be Who You Are

The Kooks

Intro But you don't know who you are The rose gonna take and make you walk too far You're a liar, you are a thief, you are a star But you don't know who you are Verse You are just a kid with a sentimental heart Fade away what happened before you were a star And you don't need the baggage, and you don't need the stuff And you don't need nobody to fill your empty cup Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra Ta ta, ta ra ra ra Be who you are Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra Baby you're a star Ta ta, ta ra ra ra Verse Never give up, Coltrane! Never be a slave to your own name You are a poet, you are a fake, you are a star But you don't know who you are Verse We could shine a light here inside the dark And get a little closer, lonely spark When there's nothing left to win, and you can only lose What's given you for doing what you always wanna do Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra Be who you are Ta ta, ta ra ra ra Be who you are Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra Baby you're a star Ta ta, ta ra ra ra Be who you are Bridge Lately I've been feeling Like the stars are rollin out for me Stars are rollin out Lately I've been feeling But the stars are rollin out for me Stars are rollin out But maybe they're misleading Is it just a light reflecting off the street? Verse You are just a kid with a sentimental heart Fade away what happened before you were a star And you don't need the baggage, and you don't need the stuff And you don't need nobody to fill your empty cup Outro Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra Be who you are Ta ta, ta ra ra ra Be, be who you are Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra Be who you are Ta ta, ta ra ra ra Baby you're a star Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra Be who you are Ta ta, ta ra ra ra Be who you are Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra Baby you're a star Ta ta, ta ra ra ra
