I’m ok with me, you see……
I’m not trying to fit in.
And it’s ok if I’m not your type,
I’ll still be comfortable in my skin.
verse 1
There once was a time,
when I cared too much,
Approval really mattered,
I craved acceptance and such.
But wisdom and truth,
finally came with age,
I realized…..”I am who I am”….
and I could just turn the page…..
Chorus
I’m ok with me, you see……
I’m not trying to just fit in.
it’s quite alright if I’m not your type,
I’ll still be comfortable in my skin.
verse 2
I have plenty of days…..
when I’m feeling high,
There still are days…..
That I might feel real low.
There are times that I
need some friends,
Other times, I like being alone.
Chorus
I’m ok with me, you see……
I’m not trying to fit in.
it’s quite alright if I’m not your type,
I’ll still be comfortable in my skin.
verse 3
The birds don’t worry,
if they’re singing too loud,
And squirrels don’t ask
if I think they’re getting fat.
Nothing in nature,
second guesses themselves,
So I’m choosing to be like that!
chorus
I’m ok with me, you see……
I’m not trying to fit in.
it’s quite alright if I’m not your type,
I’ll still be comfortable in my skin.
bridge
I’ll be a happier me,
and I’ll be more carefree,
when I trust that God,
designed me as-is….
Giving me talents and quirks
And yet all of it works,
to be part of the plan that is HIS.
chorus
I’m ok with me, you see……
I’m not trying to fit in.
it’s quite alright if I’m not your type,
I’ll still be comfortable in my skin.
outro …
I embrace who I am….
because there is a master plan.
I’m as unique
as a falling snowflake.
Though, perfect I’m not,
I’ll celebrate what I’ve got,
because even with flaws,
I’m not here by mistake!
last chorus
I’m ok with me, you see……
I’m not trying to fit in.
it’s quite alright if I’m not your type,
I’ll still be comfortable in my skin.
