Just The Way I Am Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

If you hear me crying in the night pretend that you don't hear me it's all right 

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 

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 

I might smile while 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 fly 

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 

To go play game to children at the playground 

It makes me happy that's just the way I am 

And even though you may not understand me...
