Lyrics

You, you could be right
You could be wrong
Ain't nobody else

Come along let your dress
Reflect yourself
On your own
You came unique
With mind and body

You, you could be right
You could be wrong
You would be strong
If you know that 
You were living in your own skin
Got to be yourself
Ain't nobody else

Don't you live by color
Wear it like no other
Batter up keeping it real
Any shape any sizе
You can find your own style
Get your own sex appеal

You, you could be right
You could be wrong
You would be strong
If you know that 
You were living in your own skin
Got to be yourself
Ain't nobody else

Be just what are you are
Don't take it all to heart
'Cause you get the chance to choose
Don't change yourself to suit
'Cause that would never do
Your body wasn't made for two

Video Production Information

Leave it to me!
You can hear former SOUL II SOUL lead vocalist CHARLOTTE on her world debut album, "Charlotte" (see cover photo above)!
Well, in this special remixed version, the song's tempo was increased, some parts of the phrases were replaced, and while I was also anxious about using the original movie, I was somehow able to match it well with ucchie's assistance.
This music video is not only cool & stylish, but it's also a must-see.
An alter ego of CHARLOTTE with completely silver "SKIN"? She appears to perform a mysterious dance, and the walls are lined with X-ray photographs of chests in a row of colors, which are wrapped in a rather mysterious charm.
