Texty: Janelle Monae. The Audition. Cindi.

As I search for a home
And a place to belong
I find it hard to fit in
I meet lots of pretty girls
In this fantasy world

Waiting for their turn to shine
So I try to be Cindi
In hopes that they'd notice
But I wasn't their cup of tea
It's so lonely when I'm only being me

Who's that girl in the mirror
With hair like a rock star?
She wants to dance but she has cold feet
Her confidence is low

So much talent but who'll know?
When she's afraid to follow her dreams
So I talk to her heart and made up her mind
That I gotta except her for me
But it's so lonely when I'm only being me

Ooh, you gotta be you
And I've gotta be me
Only, only be me
