Maybe I shouldn't have lied
I was in over my head
All the games that I played
Just played me instead
Please forgive me, I'm trying to forget
I was too busy fronting, how dumb can I get
Oh oh oh, so busted
Oh oh oh, I messed it up, up, up
Gonna tell you what, what, what
Gonna dance like a freak on the pier tonight
Sing the wrong words into the mic
'Cause that's just who I am (that's me), that's just who I am (that's me)
I won't care if they laugh at me
If I lose my grip on gravity
I'm doing the best I can
'Cause that's just who I, that's just who I am
Oh oh oh oh oh
The magic wand is dead and gone
I don't wanna play pretend
You'll never see that wannabe
I'm back to myself again
You best believe me, I swear I'm over it
Ha, the kid is back (where the party at?)
The night ain't over yet
Oh oh oh, no stressin'
Oh oh oh, I'm fessin' up, up, up
Gonna tell you what, what, what (come on)
Gonna dance like a freak on the pier tonight
Sing the wrong words into the mic
'Cause that's just who I am (that's me), that's just who I am (that's me)
I won't care if they laugh at me
If I lose my grip on gravity
I'm doing the best I can
'Cause that's just who I, that's just who I am
Maybe I'm over human
So what's so wrong with that?
When I don't know what I'm doing
Gotta cut myself some slack
'Cause I'm a work in progress
And there's no turning back
There's no turning back
'Cause I got it like, got it like
Got it like that
Oh oh oh oh oh
You know I got it like that
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah that's right, you know
Oh oh oh oh oh
Sing it
Gonna dance like a freak on the pier tonight
Sing the wrong words into the mic
'Cause that's just who I am, that's just who I am
I won't care if they laugh at me
If I lose my grip on gravity
I'm doing the best I can
'Cause that's just who I, that's just who I am
Everybody now
Gonna dance like a freak on the pier tonight
Sing the wrong words into the mic
'Cause that's just who I am, that's just who I am
I won't care if they laugh at me
If I lose my grip on gravity
I'm doing the best I can
'Cause that's just who I, that's just who I am
Oh
Maybe I shouldn't have lied
I was in over my head
All the games that I played
Just played me instead
Please forgive me
I'm trying to forget
I was too busy frontin'
How dumb can I get?
Oh oh oh, so busted
Oh oh oh, I messed it up-up-up
Gonna tell you what-what-what
Gonna dance like a freak on the pier tonight
Sing the wrong words into the mic
'Cause that's just who I am
That's just who I am
And I won't care if they laugh at me
If I lose my grip on gravity
I'm doin' the best I can
'Cause that's just who I
That's just who I am
Trivia[]
This song was performed during a party in Sonic Boom that covers up one of Trish's embellished interests of Austin, that he throws a themed party every Saturday.
This song reflects on how Austin goes with Trish's lies that puts Team Austin in crazy situations just to get a magazine cover.
Parts of the studio version of the song are used during Disney Channel's "Who I Am" mini-series, showing the personal lives of Disney stars (which included Maia Mitchell, Laura Marano, Ross Lynch, Dove Cameron, Rowan Blanchard, and Zendaya).
