Make Your Own Kind Of Music

"Make Your Own Kind of Music"
© 1970 Words and Music by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil

Nobody can tell ya;

There's only one song worth singin',

They may try and sell ya,

'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you.

But you've gotta make your own music

Sing your own special song,

Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along.

You're gonna be knowing

The loneliest kind of lonely,

It may be rough goin',

Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do.

But you've gotta make your own music

Sing your own special song,

Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along.

So if you cannot take my hand,

And if you must be goin',

I will understand.

But you've gotta make your own music

Sing your own special song,

Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along.
