I Am Me Not You
I like me very much and the boss does as well
I Am Me Not You
You told me what to write,
to wear, to not show I care.
Tell me to sit here,
I will just stand over there.
You said use more make-up,
light up your eyes.
That never took me by surprise.
I am me, not you, no painted smile.
The nasty looks you give people
are honestly vile.
So before you try to redress and change me,
look in a mirror, girl—at yourself.
Do you like what you see?
I go for the kind, helpful way,
where you are all you.
Please don’tdrag me
into your horrible frame.
At the end of the day,
you’re a worker just like me.
The difference is I am me—
what people get is what they see.

Why Wiked: For Good is Undeservingly the ‘worse movie’
So… off the bat, we’re about to delve into something ridiculous. Just so we’re clear on that, ok? The first thing anyone that knows a thing about these dual movies… knows… is the original movie and sequel were shot together.
