The Kooks Lyrics
"Be Who You Are"

[Verse 1:]
You don't know
Who you are
The rose gonna take and
Make you walk too far

You are a liar
You are a thief
You are a star
But you don't know who you are

[Pre-Chorus:]
You are just a kid
With a sentimental heart
Fade away what happened
Before you were a star

You don't need the package
You don't need the stuff
You don't need nobody
To feel your empty cough

[Chorus:]
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Baby you're a star
Ta, ta, ta

[Verse 2:]
Never give up, caught a train
Never been a slave to your own name
You are a poet, you are a fake
You are a star
You don't know who you are

[Pre-Chorus:]
We could shout a lie
-
Get a little closer to loneliness' back
There's nothing left to win
And you could only lose
What's giving you for duel
What you always wanna do

[Chorus:]
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Baby you're a star
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are

[Vocals]

[Bridge:]
Lately I've been feeling
But the stars were rolling out for me
Stars were rolling out for me
But maybe the misleading
Is just a lie reflecting off the street

[Pre-Chorus:]
You are just a kid
With a sentimental heart
Do you feel self?
-

You don't need the package
You don't need the stuff
You don't need nobody
To feel your empty cough

[Chorus:]
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Be, be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Baby you're a star
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Be who you are
Ta, ta, ta
Baby you're a star
Ta, ta, ta
