If You Hear Me Crying in the Night
Pretend That You Don't Hear Me It's Alright
Don't Ask Me Why I'm Crying, Please Don't Make a Sound
I Don't Know Why, It's Just the Way I Am
And If You Think I Act a Little Strange
And You Don't Understand When I Do Things
Like Running Through the Fields While the Rain Is Pouring Down
I Don't Know Why, It's Just the Way I Am
And Even Though You May Not Understand Me
I Hope That You'll Accept Me Like I Am
For There Are Many Sides of Me, My Mind and Spirit Must Be Free
And I Might Smile When Other Folks Would Frown
I Don't Know Why, It's Just the Way I Am
I Might Go Out Chasing Butterflies
And If I Fail to Catch One I Might Cry
And If You Want Me You Might Find Me in the Meadow Walking 'round
I Don't Know Why, It's Just the Way I Am
I Might Be Home and Busy Cleaning House
And in the Middle of My Work I Might Go Out
And Go Play Games With Children At the Playground
It Makes Me Happy, and That's Just the Way I Am
And Even Though You May Not Understand Me
I Hope That You'll Accept Me Like I Am
For There Are Childish Sides of Me
My Mind and Spirit Must Be Free
I Might Smile When You Think I Should Frown
I Don't Know Why, It's Just the Way I Am
