Believe In Me - Todd Rundgren

My Christmas list is filling up with stuff I don't need I was hoping for new shoes, the kind with the lights I was naughty in high school, but now i'm trying to be nice Even Santa he is thankful for the little things (Like what kind of stuff Santa?) Thanks for the moonlight that guides me on my way And I won't be greedy, I don't ask for much these days I just need one thing, please believe in me Well, Christmas comes just once a year I was hoping for snow shoes, or maybe a bike But when I asked them for fun, they bought me "Aim and Ignite" Even Santa he is thankful for the little things (Sweet Santa) Thanks for the moonlight that guides me on my way Thanks for the memories 'cause they keep us safe and remind me that it's okay to be lonely Please believe in me. (Hey, Mary-Kate, what are you getting Ashley for christmas? Um, I actually just got her a Bowflex. Shut Up! I was gonna get her a Bowflex. Well, do you want to go shopping for something else? No, I'm going home.)

I'm losing myself Trying to compete With everyone else Instead of just being me Don't know where to turn I've been stuck in this routine I need to change my ways Instead of always being weak I don't wanna be afraid I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today And know that I'm okay 'Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways You see, I just wanna believe in me La, la, la, la The mirror can lie It doesn't show you what's inside And it, it can tell you you're full of life It's amazing what you can hide Just by putting on a smile I don't wanna be afraid I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today And know that I'm okay 'Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways You see, I just wanna believe in me I'm quickly finding out I'm not about to break down, not today I guess I always knew That I had all the strength to make it through Not gonna be afraid I'm gonna wake up feeling beautiful today And know that I'm okay 'Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways You see now, now I believe in me Now I believe in me
