I am confident, but
I still have my moments.
Baby, that's just me.

I'm not a supermodel
I still eat McDonald's.
Baby, that's just me.

Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything.
Because of where I
Had my start and,
Where I made my name.
But everything's the same
In a la la land machine. Machine.

Who said I can't wear my
Converse with my dress?
Oh, baby, that's just me!

And who said I can't be single
I have to go out and mingle
Baby, that's not me.
No, no.

Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything.
Because of where I
Had my start and,
Where I made my name.
But everything's the same
In a la la land machine. Machine.

Tell me do you feel the way I feel
Cause nothing else is real
In the la-la land appeal.

Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything.
Because of where I
Had my start and,
Where I made my name.
But everything's the same
In a la la land machine. Machine.

Well, I'm not gonna change
In a la la land machine
Well I will stay the same
In la la land

Machine

I won't change anything of my life
(I won't change anything of my life)
I'm staying myself tonight
(I'm staying myself tonight)
